Dope, that's England, not here. So you have an English city council - Camden a London borough of ~220,000 covering 8 square miles.

"They were eventually allowed to keep the air-con on appeal to the Planning Inspectorate – in spite of the council’s strict climate tests – by demonstrating that the property already had numerous eco upgrades such as solar panels." The AC units do not produce carbon but the electrical source may. As for councils making nutty rules:

USA:
~Miami Beach, Florida: It is illegal to sing in a public place while wearing a swimsuit,

~Carmel, California: Eating ice cream while standing on the sidewalk is prohibited

~Fairbanks, Alaska: Serving alcoholic beverages to a moose is strictly against the law.

~Atlanta, Georgia: You are prohibited from tying a giraffe to a telephone pole or street lamp.

~San Francisco, California: Using used underwear to wipe or clean your car is illegal.

~Quitman, Georgia: Changing the clothes on a storefront mannequin is not allowed unless the window shades are drawn.

~Boston, Massachusetts: Taking a bath is technically illegal unless you have a written order from a licensed physician.

~My favorite: You are not allowed to leave your home without having some place to go.
