“An implementation schedule and aftercare specs are evident to the proposed plans, these are accepted, but the preference would be for the render to be more sympathetic/authentic colour match to that of the stonework evident to the HA rather than the existing colourwash (which is to be removed). • It is unclear how the stainless-steel render (bell) bead at the base of render is to be fastened to the façade of the HA. Details of proposed fixing would need to be clarified.”
