I can't remember the latin version but law is not concerned with trivialities. Normally external insulation is going to be limited by other factors like roof overhang and windowsills so it isn't going to make a house that much larger.

Thanks DH, thats sensible, I guess you still have to pay those bastards @ the council shedloads on top in order to tick a box or two?

I think he wants to know if you are from anywhere near Welshpool. No idea why!  |

In England, isn't external insulation normally covered by the General Permitted Development rules? I haven't heard of any more specific rules or even specific mention like renewables. So I would expect that you can normally do it but it does change the outside appearance and size so you will need permission if your permitted development rights have been withdrawn, or you've already used them up, or if you live in a conservation area or listed house or whatever.
That's just my guess. No idea of the position in Wales, Scotland, either part of Ireland or anywhere else!

AS FROM OCTOBER THE BUILDING REGS LAW CHANGED AND YOUR ARE NOW ALLOWED TO BUILD MOST EXTENSIONS WITHOUT PLANNING PERMISSION. I DOUBT VERY MUCH WETHER THE COUNCIL WOULD BE BOTHERED ABOUT EXTERNAL WALL INSULATION BEING APPLIED (BUT I ALWAYS CHECH FIRST IF I AM WORKING OUT OF WALES).I HAVE HAD 28 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN EXTERNAL WALL INSULATION APPLICATION AND NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS BEFORE. (AS LONG AS HOUSES ARE NOT IN CONSERVATION AREAS AS YOU STATED).

0.37 is the limit on 50mm boards So using 50mm boards doesn't meet building regs. Presumably a thicker board is needed. I can understand DIYers shrugging their shoulders and not worrying too much but a surely a professional company wanting a good long term reputation needs to deal with the building regs side of things? does anyone understand that if we insulate at 25mm boards your house will be compltetely waterproof.
Again it might have waterproofed but has it met the min requirements of building regs? Just to clarify this: Building Regs require that where 25% of the surface area of a thermal element is being renovated, then the thermal performance of the whole element should be improved to achieve the standard for replacement thermal element listed in the regs, in the case of walls this is .35W/m2K ( u value) or as a minimum the standard that is practical and cost effective within a simple payback of 15 years. Which is usually, for walls, also taken to be .35W/m2K |

lee, easy on the CAPSLOCK you are hurting my ears!  I was just wondering where you are based, I am looking to add 150mm of EPS to my house, the main issue being that I live in an ex council house, and am end terrace of 4, I have no issue with my house being 6-7" bigger than next door, but not sure the council will see it that way, especially as I am hoping to render, and the entire street is red brick... I'm up for the fight though. |
