I
hang
mine out of the window on my Grade II listed building and nobody has said a
word. This is possibly because I didn't bother telling anyone after
becoming
increasingly frustrated with the rules that apply to me but seem to be
ignored
by my neighbours! If anyone does complain I shall simply lift the unit back
inside (and put it out again after a couple of days).
It
seems to me that there is a big difference between sticking a modern
extension
on an old house, or replacing the period windows with UPVC (both of which
have
happened in our village) and locating a non-permanent appliance on the
wall. I
would challenge you to find any pub for example (regardless of age and
listing)
that does not have at least one of these units outside. If you have
the
opportunity to disguise it in some way as with Tim's example then that is
good,
but mine is certainly visible (though not on the front of the house) as it
is
about 15 feet off the ground.
For
what it's worth, I do not have a satelite dish and if/when I am finally
forced
to get one, then I will locate it somewhere in the garden as running long
cable
>from
aircon would not be so easy).
Regards
Graham
P.S.
If anyone from my local planning office is reading this then please
enconomise
on trips to the village by insisting that the brand new double glazing
is
removed from all of the front windows on the house opposite at the same
time as
you ask me to remove the aircon unit. :-)
