Separating the bath/sink/shower waste from the toilet and running it through the external wall separately could be a potential solution, but it's essential to consult with a qualified plumber or building inspector to determine if this is necessary and compliant with building regulations in your area.
1. **moisture barrier (dpm)**: since your walls have been rendered, there may be moisture present that could potentially affect the osb chipboard. using a damp proof membrane (dpm) between the rendered walls and the osb chipboard can help prevent moisture from penetrating the chipboard and causing issues like warping or mold growth. if there's any doubt about moisture levels, it's a good idea to err on the side of caution and use a dpm.

2. **fixings**: self-tapping screws can be used to attach the osb chipboard to the walls, but the choice of fixings may also depend on the thickness and condition of the rendered walls. if the walls are particularly hard or uneven, you may need more substantial fixings such as wall plugs or anchor bolts to securely fasten the chipboard.

3. **battening**: battening out the walls involves installing timber studs onto the walls and then attaching the osb chipboard to the studs. this method provides a more secure and stable surface for mounting the chipboard, especially if the rendered walls are uneven or have irregularities
