Has anyone used straw panels in an extension?

last year

I have planning permission for a traditional extension. Then my nephew told me about straw panels that can be built off site and then bolted together, making for a sustainable, eco friendly build. Has anyone experience of these please? Especially regarding planning permission (do I need to re-do it), how it would fit with my existing 1930s end of terrace, and house insurance. I've contacted ecococon and straw panels, but it would be useful to know if anyone has used them.

Just to update .. I did end up using this and it seems to have worked well. Used it on the bathroom temporary until we renovate the house as it had old brown carpet in and manly floorboards. Not sure how waterproof it is but it doesn't seem to have rubbed off yet or peeled so that's good!

Never sure about separate playrooms. If your children are young, you’ll want them in the kitchen/open plan space so you can all be together as a family during the day. If they’re a bit older, they could play (games consoles etc) in the front living room. I think your current design might mean you just have a walk way through to your kitchen with no purpose. How about opening up the whole of the back into one big space with plenty of built-in cupboard storage for toys? Kids are little for such a short time really, it seems a shame to ‘lose’ that space. Also can you have windows on that side of your house? If not, potentially the playroom would be dingy. Just my thoughts! H x
