Devon Earth Building Association: cob and the Building Regulations
Discusses the application of the English and Welsh Building Regulations to the form of earth-walled buildings of the West Country commonly known as cob. Its aim is to provide designers and controlling Authorities with a better understanding, so as to enable a more informed approach to the approval of earth-building projects. Presents findings in respect of new building, alteration and extension to existing buildings and the material change of use of cob building. Concludes that such buildings can comply with the Building Regulations, advising that it is essential that the aims of the Regulations are incorporated into the design as early as possible, thereby avoiding conflicting needs at a later stage.
