We are building a class q conversion. Can we build the stone higher on the outer leaf.

[JCL]

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.

As you have approved drawings, wouldn't you have to build to those or go for an amendment?

Why would it? If it does we are stuffed, but do I care - no. House wouldn't look the same or as nice with a different finish.

Fair comment 😁 i would never change the cladding i just wondered if too much was too much wood. What kinda cladding have you gone for?

Scottish larch.

John mo- 

 

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

To quote someone, so they get notified, you type '@' then start typing the name, a dropdown list appears and you choose the person.

 

Whole front, one end and a full height gable on the rear. The rest is stone slips.

It only takes one difficult neighbour to make a complaint. Ours certainly would 😄.

 

There have been some concerns here on 't 'ub that some insurers have limits on the % of cladding they're willing to insure.
