Firstly, let us explain what is cladding on a house and why it is important to have on your house. The term ‘cladding’ refers to the outer skin(s) applied to any building, both residential and commercial.
External cladding boasts a variety of benefits including, but not limited to:
- • Increasing your home’s thermal energy efficiency to achieve a U-value of 0.212 W/m2k, its thermal performance is nothing less than exceptional!
- • Strengthening your home’s structure
- • Heightening resistance to cracking or warping
- • Reducing your home’s carbon footprint as fibre cement cladding is an eco-friendly material
- • Protecting your home from adverse weather conditions and many more
It is non-load bearing and does not have any structural integral to the building itself.
Do I need planning permission for external cladding for my home in Essex?
You do not need to apply for planning permission for repairs, maintenance, or minor improvements such as painting your house or cladding.
However, there are a few exceptions to these rules. These exceptions are if you live in a Conservation Area, if you live in a National Park, or if you live in an Area of Outstanding Beauty.
If you live in any of these areas, then you will need to apply for planning permission before cladding your house.
