26/01644/LDC - Lawful Development Certificate Registered

Proposal

Application for a certificate of lawful development for a proposed installation of a single domestic air source heat pump (ASHP) outdoor compressor unit to be located on the side elevation at ground-level of the property. Associated operations are limited to: Core-drilling an external wall for refrigerant pipework and electrical connections linking the outdoor unit to the indoor cylinder. Siting the outdoor unit on an existing concrete path on rubber anti-vibration feet on the ground. For the avoidance of doubt, this proposal does NOT include: the creation or alteration of any vehicle access, laying out of a new street, construction of new hard-standings, new means of enclosure, or changes to the drainage of the land or buildings.

Site constraints 6

Rotherwick conservation area
Demolition needs planning permission and permitted development is restricted.
The council must give weight to preserving or enhancing the area's character and appearance. Not every council has published its boundaries as open data.
Council document ↗
Article 4 direction
Rotherwick. Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.
An Article 4 direction withdraws particular permitted development rights, so work that would normally need no application needs one here. Not every council has published its directions.
Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 1
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
4 listed buildings within 150 m
Nearest: Kernets, Grade II, 40 m away · 4 Grade II
The site itself is not listed. Listed building consent is needed for work that affects the special interest of a listed building, inside or out, on top of planning permission. Setting can be a consideration for buildings nearby; there is no fixed radius.
