A school that installed air source heat pumps without planning permission has been told by the Planning Inspectorate that it cannot run them continuously – because of the noise.
Reepham High School in Norfolk put in the pumps in 2022 to heat its English and science block.
But people living near the school complained that the noise was disturbing their sleep – and Broadland District Council (BDC) said it would take enforcement action if the pumps were used before 07:00 or after 17:00.
The school said it was “considering all options to resolve the matter”.
After complaints, BDC gave the school retrospective planning permission, external to use them, provided they did not run the pumps outside school hours and disturb the neighbours.

That school is going to be mighty cold in winter if it can’t turn them on until after 7.00am!
