If you live in a conservation area, or a flat, or a listed building, you might want to check your local rules. Seriously. Before you buy that AC unit.
You might need to apply for “retrospective planning permission.” That’s a fancy way of saying “ask for forgiveness.”
Or, you could do what I’m doing. I’m just going to drape a wet sheet over my head and sit in my fridge. The fridge is quiet. The fridge is stylish.
The fridge doesn’t care about historic brickwork.
Stay cool, friends. And maybe keep a low profile. Your AC unit might be the most wanted thing on your street.
And honestly? It’s probably prettier than the neighbour’s gnome collection.
