19. The Developer shall comply with the following Conservation requirements of the Planning Authority: (d) All repair of original historic fabric shall be scheduled and carried out by appropriately experienced conservators of historic fabric. Full repair and reinstatement schedules and drawings (condition surveys, specifications and methodologies) shall be submitted to the planning authority for written agreement prior to commencement for the repair and other works proposed to the protected structure including repairs to plaster, brick and stone repairs and pointing, joinery, new replica doors, windows and architraves, ironwork, works to floors, roofing, external gates. Rainwater goods to the protected structure shall be cast iron. New roof coverings where required shall be Blue Bangor Slate. (e) Samples of materials and site exemplars of site workmanship with respect to repairs and restoration to be carried out shall be submitted to the CO for the cleaning, consolidation and repointing of historic brickwork and stone work. The CO shall be notified when samples are available for inspection, and if any previously undiscovered features are discovered during the works. A sample will be prepared of the raking out/removal of inappropriate cement pointing from the brick façade to determine the level of damage that might arise in this process – this will inform the final decision in relation to the repointing of brickwork, which would be preferable in lime mortar for the long-term health of the building. The CO recommends that NHL2 is used for repointing of historic brickwork.
