Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Limavady are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the council's planning service before work is booked.

Windy entrances need more powerful units or a lobby.
Leased premises
If your Limavady 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.
