Wallsend: walls, weather and approvals
As well as Wallsend itself, we quote in Jarrow, Felling and Gosforth. It's roughly 3 miles from Wallsend to Newcastle upon Tyne, the largest town in Tyne and Wear. The North East has many solid brick terraces, including former colliery housing, plus post-war council estates with some system-built homes.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Tyne and Wear: 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 Wallsend with attractive brick fronts, one approach is to insulate the front internally and the rear externally.

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.
