Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Fife are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Operator duty
The legal duty sits with the operator — the person or business with actual control over the equipment.
Leased premises
If your Fife 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.
