Official description

We respectfully submit this proposal for the installation of two standard external air conditioning units at roof level which will not be visible from the street nor the garden. The external units will be used for powering new air conditioning machines to be installed inside our flat. This proposal involves no change of use whatsoever to the building or the premises. The property will continue to be used exactly as it is currently used, and the proposed works are limited solely to the addition of mechanical equipment required to improve internal temperature control during periods of extreme heat, which are becoming increasingly more frequent. The proposed units represent a very small and unobtrusive addition to the roof and will not create any significant alteration to the building, its appearance, or the surrounding area. Importantly, the units will not be visible from street level or from neighboring properties and can only be seen if a person is standing on the roof itself. As such, the visual impact of the proposal is negligible, and the character and appearance of the property will remain fully preserved. This is a modest, practical, and necessary improvement, particularly in light of the unusually high temperatures experienced this year. The equipment proposed consists of standard air conditioning units commonly used to maintain safe and comfortable internal conditions. The application is therefore reasonable in scope, minimal in visual impact, and essential for the proper cooling of the premises during hot weather. In view of the fact that there is no change of use, no material impact on the appearance of the building, and no meaningful effect on the surrounding area, we respectfully request that planning permission be granted for this minor rooftop installation.
