No. Planners are concerned about the outside appearance of buildings,
not about the materials they are built from (except insofar as they may
have policies to encourage environmentally-friendly building).

Building Control are the people who are interested in how the building
is constructed - whether it will stand up, how quickly it will burn down
etc. The local authority (a.k.a. Council) building control may vary in
their attitudes and knowledge but you are free to ignore them and choose
an independent building control agency who has experience of straw bale
construction. Contact me offlist if you need more details.
