More resistance to External Wall Insulation!
However, a new problem has surfaced from another of the authority's departments. Our Highways Department is now putting forward an objection to external wall insulation being applied to any house wall that abuts onto the footpath/highway on the grounds that it would be "land grabbing". They are talking about the need for an "Oversail Licence" to be issued : "As stated in Section 177 of the Highways Act 1980 no person is permitted to construct or extend a building or structure over the Highway without a license granted by the Highway Authority ".
Has any other authority created any similar objections to, what will amount to, approx 75mm of overhang from treated buildings? They are also talking about the need for highway closures for the placement of scaffolding and the fixing of the insulation.
I would be interested to know if these problems have beset any other EWI projects as we may have to escalate the matter to far higher authorities to get a decision if we are going to be able to improve the lot of our poorer quality housing stock.

Re: More resistance to External Wall Insulation!
I'm having the same issue, I was wondering if you found a resolution?

Re: More resistance to External Wall Insulation!
Some properties have been done, our planning are very supportive of the scheme but highways are talking about going to court for a stoppage of highway order, despite the fact that the EWI wont actually extend the property any further than the roof - apparetnly the higway gotes from floor to sky so I tried the what happens when they open their window arguement.
Perhaps I'll go to DECC
