Specific Planning Restrictions and Leaseholder Considerations
While your project might generally qualify under permitted development regulations, you still need to consider certain additional limitations:
If your property sits within a designated area, you cannot install a flue on any wall or roof section that faces a public road. This includes places like National Parks, The Broads, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONBs), conservation zones, and World Heritage Sites.
Should you be a leaseholder, remember that you may need to get approval from your landlord, the property's freeholder, or the management company before you can proceed with fitting a flue.
