Proposal

Installation of a 16kw Samsung EHS Gen7 R290 air source heat pump on the southern wall of my house. British gas will be completing the installation and advised that as the Samsung unit dimensions are 1.018m high x 1.27m Wide x 0.53m deep its volume is 0.685 cu.m and thus larger than the 0.6cu.m threshold for permitted development.
