“GPDO Part 1 (All Classes) – LDC Appeal Decisions” – 2 additional appeal decisions (total = 1,949) …

The "GPDO Part 1 (All Classes) - LDC Appeal Decisions" document has been updated to include 2 additional appeal decisions relating to householder permitted development legislation, for which the conclusions are as follows:

September 2025 - Code a01843 (appeal dismissed):

  • This appeal decision provides an example of where it was concluded that a particular piece of land is not within the “curtilage” of the property.
    [Note: The land is approx 71m-99m from the main house and separated from the main house by a fence, wall, and gate].
  • Furthermore, the above was concluded even though it was accepted that the piece of land is within the same ownership / unit of occupation / planning unit as the main house.
    [Quote: “It is often the case that the concept of “curtilage” and “planning unit” are confused: they are distinct and separate. The planning unit is a concept evolved as a means of determining the most appropriate physical area against which to assess the materiality of change in the use of land. The two will sometimes cover the same area on the ground, but that will not always be the case and does not in any event mean that they are the same thing."].

September 2025 - Code a01842 (appeal dismissed):
