6.4.5 Timber
Exposed timber frame buildings are found throughout Cheshire, making a strong contribution to local distinctiveness. Newly built exposed timber framed homes are encouraged.
SHOULD
On mock Tudor façade elements, care should be taken so that the timber appears integral to the building façade, rather than looking like a purely ornamental “stuck on” feature.
MUST
All timber must be natural, not composite or imitation.
MUST
In keeping with the style of existing timber framed homes, timber frames must be painted black or left with a natural finish.
