Is planning permission required for Rendering a brick house?

[^woody^]

Back after an extended leave of absence with a devastating blow.

Rendering the dwelling does need planning permission as this would breach the 'materials of a similar appearance' condition in Class A. If you had just painted that would be PD- under Part 2 Class C.

Could you point out to us where, in the Permitted Development rules, it specifically states that rendering a dwelling is not P.D?

Rendering a brick house...
Asking for trouble???

why?

why?

The second it is rendered it becomes an ongoing maintenance issue.

The product rarely stays 'fresh'. Those rendered elevations on less favourable sides become mossy, streaked and mouldy. This is the UK not Spain. When the product/colour inevitably becomes tired so do the people viewing it.

Future work on any elevation is a pain to repair scar free.

Windows can not be replaced without hassle.

Soffits can not be replaced without hassle.

Large areas of rendering require a building control application and a full external wall insulation upgrade (not always a bad thing but still a pain).

Brick walls are virtually maintenance free.

Does it?

The product

you refer to cheap modern thin coat renders. as expected.

less favourable sides become mossy, streaked and mouldy.

Again , only applies to cheap thin coat through coloured rubbish.

This is the UK not Spain.

where, people like you are obsessed with modern rubbish , not like spain wher they use traditional methods.

pain to repair scar free.

correctly applied render needs no repair. Good for 50 years.

Windows can not be replaced without hassle.

who renders old windows in. new windows have the same lifesspan as correctly applied traditional render

full external wall insulation upgrade

not where i come from.

“Rendering a brick house , virtually maintenance free’
Very general. You know nothing about the condition of his existing brickwork, or any other brick house.

I doubt the bricks are crumbling, otherwise the op would've mentioned that.
At worse those brick walls need repointing every 80-100 years.
Rendering instead...
You know what I mean if you're a plasterer.

I’m back and fore on a site atm actually . early 60’s local authority , All built with the same materials , some with cwt failure some perfectly fine and no indication of why . just is.
Elevations of some houses badly spalled and crumbling , others perfect after over 80 years. just is .

I live in a 1950s former council estate made up of brick houses.
Apart from pointing needing a bit of attention (but not failing yet, no gaps), the bricks are still perfect.
