Cedar shingles please planners
Autumn 2006
Published:  22 October, 2006

To meet strict planning rules, architects Lee Evans Partnership used western red cedar fire retardant shingles from John Brash & Co on the roof of a new £2m primary school in a conservation area at Lamberhurst, Kent.

Matt Hayes, a partner at the practice, said the shingles provided a perfect visual contrast to the clay peg tiles which are predominant in the village.
