Do you need planning drawings for your air source heat pump installation?

PLANNING DRAWINGS FOR AIR SOURCE HEAT PUMPS
When installing an air source heat pump, planning permission can sometimes be required. Although many installations fall under permitted development rights, there are strict conditions around location, noise levels, and proximity to boundaries. That’s where our expert planning drawings come in.
We produce accurate, detailed plans that meet your local authority’s requirements, helping you secure planning approval without delays.
Planning drawings are clear, precise documents showing the proposed installation of your air source heat pump. They include the position of the unit on your property, distance from neighbours, and any acoustic screening or design considerations required by your local council.
WHO ARE THEY FOR?
Planning drawings for air source heat pumps are ideal for:
- Homeowners in conservation areas or listed buildings
- Properties where the heat pump is close to a boundary or highway
- Larger or multiple-unit developments
- Anyone unsure whether permitted development applies
They typically include:
- Site plan with unit location
- Elevations showing visibility and design
- Acoustic details (if required)
- Distances to boundaries and neighbouring properties
- Manufacturer specifications
- Planning compliance notes
THE BENEFITS OF WORKING DRAWINGS
ACCURATE COMPLIANCE
All planning conditions and permitted development limits are considered to reduce the risk of refusal.
STREAMLINED APPROVALS
Clear, compliant drawings give your local authority confidence to approve quickly.
PRACTICALITY AND SAFETY
Plans account for accessibility, maintenance, and acoustic considerations.
COST EFFECTIVENESS
Our online service keeps prices lower than traditional architects, without compromising quality.
So, how does it all work? Generally, it all starts with a survey. That could be arranging for a member of the team to visit your property and carry out a full property survey, or for even easier results, we can also work with what we call a self survey.
Simply draft a quick sketch of the floorplan and your idea added onto it and the dimensions of the rooms, and we’ll take care of the rest.
We’ll sketch out our ideas, arrange a chat to run through everything with you in detail, and then get to work on producing your highly detailed architectural drawings ready for the next stage in the process (where we can help with planning and building control approvals too!)

I can’t recommend CKA highly enough. We needed drawings done for a garage conversion we were planning and had been let down by the local firm we thought we would work with. The team at CKA were extremely quick to engage, talk through our plans and get working on our design to ensure we could still meet planning deadlines. The quality of their work is extremely high and they really think about what you want and the practicalities of that to provide the best service. I’d also specifically call out Donna as being exceptional through this process. Throughly recommended!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do I always need planning permission for an air source heat pump?
Not always. Many installations are allowed under permitted development rights. However, factors like property type, boundary distances, conservation area status, and noise levels can mean full planning permission is required.
How do I know if my property qualifies for permitted development?
The key requirements include: only one unit per property, not on a principal elevation facing a highway, at least one metre from the boundary, and meeting strict noise limits. Our team can check your eligibility before producing drawings.
What happens if I install a heat pump without permission?
If planning permission was required and you install without it, the council could issue an enforcement notice requiring removal. Having accurate drawings and approvals avoids this risk.
How long does the planning process take?
Most local authorities take around 8 weeks to decide on an application. Having clear, compliant drawings helps avoid delays and requests for additional information.
Do you handle the planning application for me?
Yes. We can submit on your behalf, monitor progress, and respond to council queries, making the process as smooth as possible.
What information do you need from me to get started?
Usually a simple sketch of your property, the location of the proposed heat pump, and the manufacturer’s details. For more complex projects, we may also need a survey.
Can you also provide building regulation drawings for the installation?
Absolutely. We produce both planning drawings and building regulation drawings, ensuring your installation is approved and built safely.
How much do air source heat pump planning drawings cost?
Costs vary depending on complexity, but our online service is far more affordable than traditional architects. Get in touch for a free no-obligation quote.
