Air Source Heat Pump – Retrospective

The client contacted Planning By Design regarding the already installed air-source heat pump, after receiving an enforcement notice.

Following a planning appraisal with one of our chartered town planners, it was determined that retrospective planning permission is required and advised an application for a retrospective Lawful Development Certificate. 

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/ Evidence to verify the application, to justify why the council should approve retrospective planning permission.

 Retrospective Lawful Development certificate has now been approved for the previously installed air source heat pump. Thankfully, this means the client will now not need to restore the property to its original state and is protected from enforcement action indefinitely.
