Heat Pumps in Listed Buildings or Conservation Areas
If your home is a listed building or located within a conservation area, you'll find that the standard 'permitted development' rules for installing a heat pump might be much more restricted, or they may not apply to you at all. Therefore, before you begin any project, it's absolutely crucial that you always contact your local council's planning department. They will inform you about the precise local requirements you'll need to meet.
