About Heat Pumps
Do I need planning permission prior to an install?
No, you probably don't need planning permission to upgrade your home with a heat pump.
However, there may be some situations where you may need it. Here are the things to watch out for (please refer here for the rules in Scotland).
- Your heat pump must pass a noise assessment so that it does not disturb your neighbours.
- Your heat pump needs to be far enough from your neighbour (no restrictions in England and 3m in Wales).
- Your home is in a conservation area.
The rules for planning are under review and may change depending on where you live. Your Heat Geek will guide you through all this during your design consultation.
