Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Horwich are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Space
Units need space in the ceiling void or a plant area with access for filter changes.
Leased premises
If your Horwich 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.
