Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Lichfield are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.

Windy entrances need more powerful units or a lobby.
Leased premises
If your Lichfield premises are leased, the landlord's written consent is usually needed for external units, wall penetrations and roof access. We provide drawings and data sheets for the request.
