Air conditioning units and permitted development

There seems to be a general perception (encouraged by misinformation spread across the internet by companies selling units) that the installation of an external air conditioning unit is covered by the exemption afforded to heat pumps (https://www.planningportal.co.uk/info/200130/common_projects/27/heat_pumps/2).

 

Very plainly they're not, but there's precious little to be found on most LA websites about them, and the false rumour lingers on.

 

They are starting to spring up, but very few applications, I suspect, are being made.  I'd appreciate views on how applications are viewed, and whether there's much enforcement going on outside Conservation Areas?
