Approvals in England
Planning in Newport (Isle of Wight) follows England's national rules: similar-looking finishes on houses are usually permitted, while flats, commercial premises, conservation areas and streets under an Article 4 direction need an application.
If the work covers more than half of a wall, or a quarter of the building's whole envelope, it counts as renovating a thermal element, with a target of about 0.30 W/m²K where feasible.
External or internal — which is better?
External insulation keeps the wall warm, reduces cold bridging at floors and party walls, renews the outside, and doesn't shrink rooms — but it changes the look and needs scaffolding. Internal insulation keeps the façade unchanged and can be done room by room, but loses 50–100mm of floor space per wall and needs careful detailing to avoid condensation at joists and corners.
