Using alternative sources of energy, such as solar power..solar panels not allowed
Could you get round this one by siting the panels on a garden structure e.g. a large shed?

If the problem is the building being listed... then possibly not, as listing now usually covers the relevant curtilage.
Thats bad news. Does the noise from the fan disturb you?peterb wrote: ↑16 Jul 2021, 9:13am We moved last September, to a new build property with an air source heat pump. Underfloor heating throughout the ground-floor, radiators on the first floor. All windows double glazed and well fitted. Very few windows on the north side of the house, but plenty of glazing to the south so as to maximise solar gain, which it does impressively throughout the year. The ASHP works well but is very expensive to run, the electricity bill is considerably higher than the combined gas and electricity bill in our old property, with it's leaking single glazed windows and minimal insulation by modern standards, but the new house is warm and draught free throughout, unlike the older one.
No, not at all, the heat pump is on the wall of the garage some way from the living areas. The large tank is inside the garage, which is reached through a utility room. The system does create a background noise when operating, presumably from the pump feeding the various heating zones, the manifold and pump being in a centrally sited under-stairs cupboard. It was noticeable when we first moved in, but we became used to it quite quickly. The ASHP system also provides plenty of hot water.al_yrpal wrote: ↑16 Jul 2021, 9:55amThats bad news.
