Decision & conditions
Copy of Decision 24/01033/REM Decision NoticePlanning conditions
- Condition 7: Prior to development of any dwelling above DPC level, the location, model, sound power level and compliance to MCS20 of any proposed Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP) shall be submitted to and agreed in writing with the Local Planning Authority. Mitigation measures should be detailed for those that do not comply with MCS20. The ASHP equipment shall be installed in accordance with the approved. Reason: In the interests of amenity and in accordance with Policy LP17 of the Peterborough Local Plan (2019) and Paragraph 185 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024). Plans and documents submitted in support of the discharge of C7: - ASHP Noise Technical Document AP2131/24208 - aroTHERM plus VWL 35.6 A 230V S2… VWL 75.6 A S2 A S2 - Proposed Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs) information - Site Layout with ASHP Locations S100_100 T Assessment: The technical note states that the Vaillant aroTHERM plus VWL 75/6 A S2 will be installed at each property. The Spectrum Acoustics Technical Note ref: AP2131/24208 uses Method 2 of the IoA Draft Air Source Heat Pumps Professional Advice Note (2026) and for this location this method is acceptable to Environmental Health. The report concludes that the MCS 020(A) limit of 37dB LAeq5min shall not be exceeded at relevant receptor locations. The application has been supported by a site plan which confirms the locations of the Air Source Heat Pumps are all within the rear amenity spaces and not forward of the properties - this is acceptable. Conclusion: The details submitted relating to condition 7 are deemed acceptable to the Local Planning Authority and comply with the submission requirements of the condition. Condition 7 is hereby discharged, subject to implementation in accordance with the approved details.
