Wind-driven rain is the first thing the surveyor weighs up. Much of Northamptonshire sits in the more sheltered driving-rain zones of the UK, which widens the choice of fill. Exposed elevations, coastal sites and high ground still get checked wall by wall.
On the rules side, if cavity wall insulation follows in Market Harborough, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
