This record has no verified map location.
View council mapThe lower half of the eastern wall of the building was covered in a inappropriate, sand/cement render. This is now failing and falling off the building posing a potential health and safety issue. The recent heavy rain has also penetrated behind the render and is causing internal damp issues. The proposal is to remove all of the render, clean the brickwork, allow the property to dry, before repainting the brickwork with a suitable paint type, to match the colour and style of the rest of the building.
