Not sure what point you are making I have long since been aware of the issues, and would never have gone for it. Maybe it cannot be applied without capturing damp. I question why government part funded it. But I also question why individuals did not do their own research. This took me five second, it took longer to cut and paste it here: Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors The RICS advises homeowners to get independent advice from a qualified professional who is not affiliated with the installer or manufacturer. They also recommend not installing spray foam in listed or protected buildings without prior consent. Property Care Association The PCA recommends that homeowners carry out appropriate checks to determine if spray foam is suitable for their roof. They also created a protocol for surveyors and lenders to make informed decisions about properties with spray foam insulation. HomeOwners Alliance The HomeOwners Alliance recommends that homeowners avoid installing spray foam roof insulation.

Talking about another local authority planning officers, they were very helpful for both those wanting to extend, and those possibly objecting, in years gone by. Often their is a compromise that both parties will be reasonably happy with and/or will more likely get approved. Back to the value of getting on with those who may be affected. I'm not sure how well resourced Southwark are, and whether they will actually come out as they may have done in the past. I expect that numbers of planning officers have been cut over recent years as local authorities tighten their belts. I used to be active in objections to developments, starting with the plans for the multiplex at the old Crystal Palace, which the developer pulled out of in 2001. I consider a lot of residential developments are ugly, not improving the streetscape, and sometimes too damn large. I've long since stopped getting bothered, in any case regulations are far more liberal nowadays. I only object every few years or so, with the hope that it is considered at planning committee. I'm sure that your plans don't lead to any of the above issues, but I don't know where you live and rest assured I wont be getting involved! There's a story for the pub another time, it involved a local website (not this one) and got very acrimonious. South London Press get involved, and the police. The internet never forgets. Not sharing any other information but I'll say a bit more via PM/DM if anyone is intrigued. Have to be careful!
