Summary
The application proposes installing an outdoor heat pump unit, an Aira 6kW model, at this house in Maes Pennant, Holywell. It would sit outside the property and run for much of the year to help heat the home.
The house sits on a residential street with homes right next door and nearby. Bryn Pennant County Primary School is a couple of minutes' walk away, and there is a church and a post office roughly the same distance. The road outside carries an estimated 1,196 vehicles a day, including a small number of lorries.
Because heat pumps run almost all year round, the main concern for neighbours is the low, steady hum the outdoor unit could make. The closest properties, right next door to the site, could notice this, though homes further away are likely to be shielded by buildings.
