Issue:
Heritage and noise issues of air conditioning units on Grade II listed building
How we helped and added value:
Our client approached us to assist following issues being raised by the Council to their application for planning permission and listed building consent to add air conditioning units to their family home.
Working with an architect, we explored a number of alternative areas for the air conditioning units to be placed that would be less sensitive in terms of the heritage impacts, but also capable of being installed and maintained. We also liaised with a noise consultant to ensure the new units would not compromise the amenities of our client’s neighbours.
We identified a suitable location that used a less sensitive part of the roof of the building and prepared a planning and listed building consent application. The Council accepted our heritage arguments and granted permission for the new units.
