ᐅ Location of Air-to-Water Heat Pump for a Semi-Detached House – Is It Too Close to the Neighbor?

Hello everyone,
We are considering using an air-to-water heat pump for heating in our semi-detached house. However, I’m concerned that the noise from the heat pump at our preferred installation location (Option 1) might disturb our neighbor (the other half of the semi-detached house). Of course, we want to avoid that.
Does anyone have experience with how this is handled, for example, in terraced housing estates? Is my concern about the noise justified?
Am I even allowed to install a heat pump when my neighbor’s house is directly next to mine?
Here is the plan of our ground floor with the two possible installation locations:
I was also thinking that the pump could alternatively be installed on the gable side, but that would mean losing some space. The neighbor is much further away there. However, the pump would then be in the garden, so we would need to be careful with the carport planning.
Alternatively, I would consider an indoor installation (if feasible, as this would only be possible in the basement, and I’m not sure if we can get air ducts to the outside somehow. Maybe someone knows how this can be done).
Thank you very much for your help!

select the outdoor unit according to the datasheet with a maximum noise level of 35 dBBy the way, does the datasheet specify if 35 dB/m (decibels per meter) actually reach the nearest window of the neighbor? Also, the 35 dB/m is the total noise level from all sources at that location. If there is an air conditioner located a bit farther away, that already adds to it.... In case of doubt, the maximum noise level coming from the user’s equipment must not exceed 29 dB/m, no more.D

At some point, this will backfire on him.

LWDV 91-1/3 — HSDV 9M-1/3
We are going with this model.
Requirement: 35 dB at 6 m (20 feet) distance (3 m (10 feet) to the property boundary)
Since you will be placing it almost directly next to your neighbor’s window, you probably won’t be able to meet this value.
