What we're working with in Hinckley
What the housing here is actually like, and what that means once we are on site.
Property types we see in Hinckley
Hinckley has a Victorian and Edwardian terraced core from the hosiery industry, interwar and post-war semis, and a large volume of recent estate housing towards Barwell, Earl Shilton and the town's growth areas.
What that means for the installation
The modern estate stock is efficient work — cavity walls, predictable layouts and easy outdoor unit siting. The point worth making on new-build is sizing: these houses lose far less heat than older stock, so a smaller unit runs longer and more efficiently than a larger one cycling on and off. We calculate room by room rather than estimating.
Planning in Hinckley: what changed in 2025
Two of the May 2025 changes matter most on this kind of housing. The permitted size of an outdoor unit rose from 0.6 to 1.5 cubic metres, so a larger condenser serving several rooms no longer needs an application, and a detached house may now have two units where it was previously limited to one. Alongside those, the one-metre boundary standoff was abolished and air-to-air systems used for cooling were brought within permitted development. The noise condition under MCS 020 survived unchanged, as did the restrictions on listed buildings and highway-facing conservation elevations. On Hinckley's modern estates the size limit is the relevant change, though newer developments sometimes carry covenants on external alterations that planning rules do not touch.
What goes into what
The property types we actually see in Hinckley, and what each one decides about the install.
Party walls on both sides, so outdoor unit placement and the noise assessment at the neighbouring window do most of the design work.
One free elevation and usually rear access. The most straightforward stock to work in, and multi-split runs are short.
Two or more free elevations, and since 2025 a detached property can take two outdoor units under permitted development.
Cavity walls, predictable layouts and tight plot boundaries - the 2025 removal of the one-metre standoff matters most here.
Consent is the starting assumption. None of the 2025 relaxations apply to a listed building or a highway-facing elevation in a conservation area.
