New flats by the station and the Stort
The Goodsyard scheme has turned the old railway freight land off Station Road into apartments, with 323 homes already built or nearly finished and 500 planned in all. Well-insulated new flats can be slow to lose heat once it gets in, and they also bring a management company and a lease into the question. Before planning anything, ask whoever manages your block for written consent, and read our guide to air conditioning in a flat. Planning rules also cap a whole block at one outdoor unit, no larger than 0.6 cubic metres.
The conservation area and its Article 4 directions
East Herts has 42 conservation areas, and Bishop's Stortford is one of them. The council made two Article 4 directions for it in June 2017 and confirmed them that November. They take away some permitted development rights, so certain small works need planning permission, though work not visible from the public realm is mostly unaffected. The home rules bar outdoor units from any wall or roof that faces a road in such an area, so a rear wall tends to be the starting point. Our planning guide has the full list of conditions.
Keeping windows shut at Hockerill
Hockerill grew up as a coaching stop on the old London to Newmarket road, and Hockerill Junction is now a monitored air quality hotspot. If you live near a busy junction or under a flight path to Stansted, opening a bedroom window on a hot night may not be the easy answer it sounds. A wall unit in the bedroom lets you keep the window closed, although it recirculates room air and does not replace ventilation.
