Give the freeholder something concrete to review.

Turn an early cooling or heat-pump proposal into a structured evidence request—without pretending that a template grants permission.

Eight approval questions

Complete the form to produce an equipment schedule, works description, noise evidence list, competence record, missing-evidence list and draft letter.

EVIDENCE, NOT PERMISSION

Give each decision-maker the same complete proposal

A freeholder, landlord, planning authority and installer answer different questions. A useful pack identifies the exact equipment and physical works without implying that one approval covers the others.

Identify the alteration

Record indoor and outdoor models, proposed positions, fixing method, pipe and cable route, condensate discharge, electrical work and any drilling through shared or external fabric. Include drawings or photographs where requested.

Explain sound and appearance

Use the exact manufacturer's sound evidence with its test context, not a generic brand figure. Show the outdoor unit's dimensions, screening, boundary relationship and maintenance access without claiming that a desktop estimate proves compliance.

Confirm competence and responsibility

State who will survey, design, install, commission and maintain the system. Refrigerant qualifications, insurance, MCS status where relevant and warranty responsibility should be verified independently.

Limit: The generated pack is a question and evidence organiser. It is not legal advice, lease interpretation, planning permission, building-control approval or landlord consent.
