Well done North Kesteven District Council. Will be interesting to follow this one.

Nice to see not everyone bales out of being responsible. :wink:

I wonder what BCOs make of such constructions? Are the straw bales structural components or are they just a 'filler' for a separate structural frame? A bit like super-thick wattle&daub? Either way, insulation values should certainly not be a problem!
