Terraced and semi-detached homes
Much of Southampton's housing is terraced or semi-detached, from Victorian streets in Shirley and Portswood to post-war semis. Non-detached houses can have one air source heat pump under permitted development, and the outdoor unit usually goes at the rear.
We carry out the MCS noise assessment and choose quiet units so neighbours aren't disturbed.
Planning around Southampton
Southampton City Council handles planning in the city. Surrounding areas come under Eastleigh Borough Council, Test Valley Borough Council, Winchester City Council and New Forest District Council.
The Old Town is covered by three of the city's 20 conservation areas. In a conservation area, a heat pump can't go on a wall or roof that faces a road, and solar panels can't go on a wall, balcony or roof enclosure that faces a road.
Read more in our guides to planning permission for heat pumps and solar and the Boiler Upgrade Scheme.
