Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Newton Abbot are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Dilapidations
Agree with your landlord what must be removed and what can stay.
Neighbours and noise
Outdoor units near flats — common above shops — need careful siting so noise at neighbours' windows stays low. We choose positions and quieter units with that in mind.
