@Alan Ambrose haha, yeh.. the neghbours! Lucky my neighbours are my cows, and my mother so were skrewed, all seriousness.. i think a phone call to self build mortgage gang & to the building control officer.

@JohnMo thank you for your help. I am new to the build hub. It sounds nice what you are doing. Keep it up. Thank you for your help.

John mo- scottish larch. Nice! Whole house clad in it?

John mo- i am not sure! Same material, just slightly higher 🤔 i wouldn’t think planning would worry but its build regs maybe..

Hi all, we are converting a steel frame cattle shed. We have had class q, further more full planning for material amendments. On our plans we have stone to the bottom of the windows, then timber clad above. (Stone work works to be 50sqm we have 40sqm of glass and 140sqm of timber cladding. Being a chippy, i have built all the timber frame on site between the steels as per plans, and sheeted off with tf200. windows are in, works inside currently being carried out. originally the stone was to be built using the sure cav 50 system up to the bottom of the windows, capped with a 200mm slate cill, followed by cladding above (average 2.9 above including the gables) so the water run off from the face of cladding runs onto the cill. questions i have, What do you all think about allot of cladding on a house, will it effect values? we like it but was going to use accoya with its warranty… I would like to add more stone work to finish it at the top of the windows, do away with the slate cill, and pack out the timber frame so to then bring the cladding then over the face of the stone… but would have to pack 175mm or so to get it past the stone face and sure cav. (surecav 50 & 4”cut stone) Thanks in advance.
