Would insertion of "clearly" before "visible" be the right sort of change?

We already have extensive PV (indeed we are net generators) and the local authority has been very supportive of renewables, but it would be important to me to have some more clarity in what counts as "Not permitted if visible from and sited on an elevation which fronts a highway." so that we and the local authority could be happy that we were within the law.

(The optimal mounting I suspect, would be on our side wall, but that could be glimpsed from a road with effort.) We would like to replace our band-D gas combi with an ASHP equivalent (probably Eco-Cute-style CO2 refrigerant) but we have a very small (end-of-terrace) house so unless mounted at the back, well away from where it is needed, an external unit could be visible from a road for someone sufficiently determined. May I make one suggestion or get some clarification? As of the UK Government is consulting on streamlining the process. The main issues still at odds are the looks and noise of ASHP which could prove very contentious especially in densely-populated urban areas.

Where I live (London) as of November 2009 it is still necessary to obtain planning permission to install an air-source heat-pump, which clearly adds red tape, uncertainty and cost to getting one. General Permitted Development Rights for Air-Source Heat Pump "Powering a 5W Deltech 12V LED Bulb Using Solar Power: Help!" Jason Garner sent me an interesting email on going solar at home headed Also, I have sent unbidden an email or two to register an opinion. I receive a steady stream of emails about the site, some of which I expand into stand-alone articles (eg Going Green in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne and Solar PV in Diffuse (Cloudy) Daylight) and others of which I follow up privately.
