Is there any reason why I should not tile directly onto a brick wall with sand and cement rendering - omitting a layer of plaster.
Tiling straight onto sand and cement rendering

None at all, though I'd probably want to use tile cement.
Assuming there are no issues with damp etc..
I've done this and it was fine. I was using big tiles and I felt this made it easier to accommodate the variations in render thickness (because I rendered it), whereas on a nice flat plaster wall this is not such an issue. Used a ready mixed Unibond waterproof tiole cement as I remember.
