I'm wondering what planning departments are going to do when everyone wants to add 6 inches of foam to every external dimension of their house.
I'd like to put a few layers of PIR on the roof too.
And solar panels above that.

I'm wondering what planning departments are going
If councils are going to be all like 'climate crisis declared!' then they need to get their planning departments to support initiatives that could help alleviate said crisis. Or stop being such twats.

So am I, haha. We got our planning through with no quibbles, which surprised us given we're planning to clad an early Edwardian terrace in cement boards which will really look quite different to anything around us (see attached pics).
My current understanding is that includes an expectation there will be some insulation under the Viroc boards, but for 100mm we might need to specifically get the OK. I need to talk to the architects about that this week.
Given our local authority have declared a climate emergency you think they'd be supportive, right...

If your setup works, this is what we'll be doing in space-year 2030 when we go all in on underfloor / heatpump / shitty extension overhaul.
Probably will have to internally insulate the crappy loft conversion though. The dot-dab plasterboard directly on the chimney stack acts as a lovely heatsink.
