Air Source Heat Pump – Retrospective

After receiving an enforcement notice, the client contacted Planning By Design regarding the already installed low-carbon heating system in the form of an air-source heat pump. 

Following a planning appraisal with one of our chartered town planners, it was determined that retrospective planning permission was required and likely to be feasible. Although retrospective planning approval can never be guaranteed.

One of our chartered architects prepared the required architect drawings, which the client approved. Following the approved architectural design, one of our chartered town planners prepared the required Planning Statement, to justify why the council should approve retrospective planning permission.

 Retrospective planning permission has now been approved for an air-source heat pump. Thankfully this means the client will now not need to demolish heat pump and is protected from retrospective planning issues and enforcement action indefinitely.
