Listed building consent
For a listed property in Kirkby in Ashfield, consent comes first: the council decides on the outdoor unit position, the pipe routes and any change to historic fabric. Conservation areas add their own limits on units facing a road. In England, most houses can have an outdoor unit under permitted development if it is no larger than 1.5 m³, meets the MCS 020(a) noise limit of 37 dB(A) at the nearest neighbour's window, and there are no more than two on a detached house or one on other houses. Listed buildings need consent.
