Hello all,
I have recently bought a derelict cottage that sits in about an acre of land in a very rural area. I think I understand most of the permitted development rules however the one about external appearance is a tad vague.
The cottage at the moment is traditional concrete covered in plaster. We intend to insulate and clad the exterior walls in metal cladding. Does this constitute a material change in appearance and therefore require planning permission?
I understand the rule is to ensure there is a cohesive appearance to the area however we are literally the only house in the area with the nearest neighbour about 0.25km away.
I’ll call the planning dept but just wanted to get some ideas beforehand.
Many thanks,
Deepesh
