Summary
The applicant proposes a heat pump at the side of this detached house. It would replace or support the existing gas heating and could make some noise while running.
The nearest other home is directly adjacent, and nine further home fronts have a clear view towards the site. The Robert Wilkinson Primary School is about a 1-minute walk away. Strensall New Bridge, a protected old bridge, is also about a 1-minute walk away.
Buildings block sound across much of the surrounding area. The council may still check the pump's position, noise level and screening for the closest homes.
