Painting outside in East of England: weather and permissions
East Anglia and the Home Counties are among the driest areas of the country, which suits exterior painting. Open, flat land means homes on the edge of towns can be windy and dusty, and the region's many timber-clad, flint and colour-washed buildings each need their own type of paint.
Repainting in the existing colour rarely needs permission, but listed buildings, and homes in conservation areas covered by an Article 4 direction, can need consent to paint the front or change its colour. More on exterior painting.
