Permissions in Wales
For homes in Newport (Gwent), the local planning authority decides any borderline cases; changing a brick house to render, or work on flats, usually needs an application in Wales.
In Wales, insulating or re-rendering more than half of a wall's area is treated as renovating a thermal element under Approved Document L (Wales), so building control is involved before work starts.
Wales applies its own external wall fire rules, updated in 2025; on taller residential buildings we specify non-combustible mineral wool systems.
Which system suits a commercial building?
The building's height, use (for example, residential or assembly use) and fire strategy shape the choice. Mineral wool systems are typical for multi-storey and public buildings; EPS may suit single-storey units. The system manufacturer's classification is confirmed in writing.
