A friend of mine recently got planning permission for a stable block of two stables, a tack room and hayloft above, converted from an old stone-built garage.
The planning permission included a condition that the stables be plastered to 3ft up the wall and above the plaster a groove be chased into the wall about one quarter of an inch.
We're all wondering why? Can anyone think of a building problem or a bug problem which would require a groove in the wall above the plastering?
I mean, there are hardly scorpions in Ireland! Friends who are architects are not able to shed any light, so over to Horseadvice...?
Best wishes

I have racked my brain all weekend and cannot come up with a answer. Where there specifications to the size, depth and angles to the walls of the groove.

I will get the exact details. I found it interesting because when I added a hayloft over my stables a few years ago I was never asked to do this!
As I understand it the groove is horizontal into the wall above the plaster.
