Bolton: walls, weather and approvals
We also cover Farnworth and Westhoughton, close to Bolton. Bolton is about 11 miles from Manchester. The North West has one of the largest stocks of pre-1919 solid-wall terraces in England, alongside Pennine stone houses and post-war estates.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Greater Manchester: sheltered town streets fare better than walls on high ground or facing the prevailing weather, and the render, beads and cill details are chosen with that in mind.
For terraced homes in Bolton with attractive brick fronts, one approach is to insulate the front internally and the rear externally.

Permissions in England
Planning isn't usually involved with internal insulation. Building control is, once more than half of a wall is treated, and listed buildings need listed building consent.
Do I need Building Regulations approval?
Yes, in England and Wales once you insulate or replaster more than half of a wall's area (or more than a quarter of the building's whole envelope), it's treated as renovating a thermal element. The wall should reach about 0.30 W/m²K where practical, and building control needs to be involved.
