We originally thought we would have to insulate as building control were insisting, but seems we had a communication issue - now they understand the use - it’s really down to us to decide. However - we need it to be draught proof for my husbands precious plants - the plasterboarding and plaster is to make it look nice - we pass through this area to access the garden.

Hi we have rebuilt a lean to on the side of our Victorian semi. we have a timber clad structure and cement fibre roof. The timber structure is built on top of an existing 18inch deep, blue lias and lime pointed wall, and the ground is the original flagstones and steps laid on dirt. The lean to will be used as a garden room and to house bikes etc. we probably won’t get building regs to sign off - as we aren’t going anywhere. so far, we have 750mm foil backed insulation taped into the voids between the rafters with the required air gap on the outside. We are not heating this room and will have moisture through the stone wall and floor, we don’t need any more insulation - but can we apply plaster board directly on top of the rafters and insulation board?? Or any other ideas. We don’t have much budget left!!
