[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 364749, member: 6969"] Trees and planners. One of my pre commencement conditions was to mark out the site for an inspection by the planners. As well as the building outlines they wanted all the pipe runs etc marked as well. They are paranoid about damaging the trees that are remaining. They did allow 2 of them at the front to be felled (one came down on Tuesday). I'll be out with the chain saw today reducing the stump to usable firewood. Lets not even mention the trees in the middle of the plot that came down before the planners got involved. Having said that the trees there will get thinned over time, but any such pruning will be gradual. I did think about ground source, but although the heat pumps are not too expensive, the cost of the pipework and the antifreeze to fill them with is surprisingly expensive. When you analyse a cost / benefit the extra cost over an air source heat pump has a very long pay back time as the saving is small. but I made the decision in time as air source heat pumps need planning permission here, so I included that in my planning application. If I later choose to go back to a ground source, that is permitted development. [/QUOTE]
