Council milestones and published deadlines. A deadline passing does not confirm a decision.
Refurbishment of wall treatment in basement front lightwell. Remove current cement render to Front Basement Lightwell which in many places has separated from underlying brick walls. Rake out any loose joints or other loose material to brickwork to provide a good key for new paint or render. Depending on condition of underlying brick walls, following removal of cement render, brick walls will either be painted with a breathable masonry paint or re-rendered with lime mortar mix (3.5 St. Astier hydraulic lime with Westerham plastering sand). Apply two coats of lime render and float finish.
