Homes in Abbotswood and air conditioning

Valuation Office Agency council tax records put about 39% of homes in Abbotswood and the neighbourhoods around it before 1919, and about 59% of households live in flats, according to Census 2021 figures. Older homes often have solid walls, which take longer to core drill, so we plan pipe routes carefully and keep them as discreet as we can. For a flat, we look at balconies, flat roofs and rear walls for the outdoor unit, and the lease often needs checking first. Central Abbotswood is inside the Waterden Road Conservation Area. In the mile around Abbotswood’s centre, 5 conservation areas have been designated. Somerset House, listed at grade I, is one of roughly 37 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Abbotswood’s centre. That matters for air conditioning: permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot go on a wall or roof facing a road, and a unit used only for cooling isn’t covered at all, so we check with the planning team at Guildford council, which normally handles Abbotswood where necessary.

Around Christ Church, a quick check of the listing and conservation maps is part of planning any install.
