Decision & conditions
Copy of Decision 24/00535/REM 72134_Decision_Notice_-_DETERMINED_DISCHG.pdfPlanning conditions
- Condition 12 (ASHP Equipment) Prior to the installation and operation of any domestic microgeneration Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) equipment, a scheme shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The scheme shall include details of the make, model and number of ASHPs being installed at each property, identify those that meet permitted development by virtue of Class G, Part 14 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 (as amended), and therefore MCS20 (or updated version), and those that do not comply with MCS20 (or updated version). Mitigation measures shall then be detailed for those that do not comply with MCS 20 (or updated version). Noise affecting the property the ASHP serves shall also be assessed and where necessary mitigated in accordance with relevant British Standards. The ASHP equipment shall be installed in accordance with the approved details. Reason: In the interests of amenity and in accordance with Policy LP17 of the Peterborough Local Plan (2019) and Paragraph 185 of the NPPF (2024). Documents and drawings submitted for Condition 12: - Phase 1B Applicability of Phase 3 ASHP noise impact assessment Letter (24/06/26) - Further ASHP Assessment (REPORT REFERENCE NO. J006033-9476-RDC-1) Assessment: The applicant has submitted a technical statement and supporting acoustic assessment which rely upon the findings of PDA Acoustic Report Reference J006033-9476-RDC-1, previously accepted under application reference 26/002284/DISCHG. The submitted information explains that the Phase 1B development is comparable to the assessed Phase 3 development in terms of housing density, dwelling design, layout, ASHP locations relative to receptors and reflective surfaces, fencing arrangements and the specification of the ASHP units proposed. Environmental Health has reviewed the submitted information and advises that, whilst concerns were previously raised under application reference 25/01436/DISCHG regarding the modelling assumptions used within the acoustic calculations, the current submission is acceptable. Environmental Health acknowledges the applicant's justification for applying the Phase 3 assessment to this phase of development and accepts the approach in this instance. The assessment confirms that noise from individual ASHP units and cumulative ASHP noise sources (excluding the host property unit) would not exceed 37 dB LAeq,5min at a position 1 metre from the nearest habitable room window of neighbouring properties. Environmental Health considers this level acceptable and raises no objection to the discharge of the condition. Environmental Health has requested that the ASHP units are installed in accordance with the submitted details, including the specified locations and equipment types. The submitted assessment identifies the proposed units as the EBLA04EV3 4kW and EBLA06EV3 6kW models, with sound power levels of 58 dB(A) and 60 dB(A) respectively. Any alternative equipment installed on site should not exceed the sound power levels assessed within Report Reference J006033-9476-RDC-1. Whilst Environmental Health has provided further technical observations regarding the interpretation of MCS 020(a) guidance and the wider applicability of the Phase 3 assessment to future phases, no objection is raised to the discharge of this condition in respect of the current application. Having regard to the submitted information and the comments received from Environmental Health, it is considered that sufficient details have been provided to demonstrate that the proposed ASHP installations would not result in unacceptable impacts on residential amenity and that the requirements of Condition 12 have been satisfied. Conclusion Therefore, the requirements of C12 have been met and the condition is discharged subject to satisfactory implementation on site.
