6 Wilson Close Stevenage Herts SG1 4TD

What is being proposed?

Description of your enquiry: I would like to clad the upper floor exterior of our detached house using HardiPlank cladding with 25mm Celotex insulation panels behind in order to enhance the appearance of the house and increase the heat insulation properties. Currently the upper floor is rendered and painted, but in places the render (now approx. 30 years old) is coming away/cracking. There would be no change to the footprint of the house and no structural work required other than adding battens to the outside wall in order to support the cladding planks. Plans and supporting information: Other information: I wanted to check whether I am required to submit a planning application to add cladding to the upper floor of the outside of my home, to cover the existing render. The attached photos show the yellow render on the upper floor which we would like covered with HardiPlank cladding (a premium fiber cement cladding) with 25mm Celotex insulation sheets behind. The attached photos were taken in 2021 when the gutters, barge boards and soffits were replaced. Please let me know if you require any further information.
