Homes and walls in Royton
Surveys in Royton also cover the surrounding OL2 district and towns such as Oldham and Middleton. Royton sits around 7 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.
Where a property in Royton is in a conservation area or the front elevation must stay unchanged, internal insulation is often the practical route.

Approvals in England
Internal insulation rarely needs planning permission, but in England and Wales insulating or replastering more than half of a wall's area involves building control, and listed buildings need consent for internal changes that affect their character.
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.
