In light of the issues raised in this forum about council planning permission - https://renewableheatinghub.co.uk/forums/renewable-heating-air-source-heap-pumps-ashps/vaillant-arotherm-15kw-ashp-problems-with-council/paged/2#post-4587 - I’ve discovered that if your heat pump(s) exceed 0.6m2 in size you need planning permission.

Many large heat pumps will exceed this size - how many ASHP owners have applied for planning permission?

No.   By my reckoning we fell within PD so just went ahead.
