Definition of "development within the curtilage of a house" in planning legislation

    I am trying to figure out if 20 sq metre kitchen extension I am planning at the rear of my house falls into the definition of an exempted development as defined by the Planning & Development Act 2000.


    Schedule 2 of the Act defines the classes of developments exempt. My proposed work falls into Class 1.

    Class 1 - Development within the curtilage of a house


    The extension of a house, by the construction or erection of an extension (including a conservatory) to the rear of the house or by the conversion for use as part of the house of any garage, store, shed or other similar structure attached to the rear or to the side of the house.

    There are several conditions to this class all of which I meet.


    Therefore, it is only the definition of "curtilage" that concerns me.


    The work I propose extends the side wall of my house by about one metre to almost meet the neighbours wooden fence. Does the fact that the extension extends the side wall of my house by 1 metre mean it will not be exempted?

    As long as the works are within your plot of land, it will be within the curtilage.

    The curtilage is the boundary of the plot around a house.

    Make sure you are in compliance with all the other conditions of exemption before you start building.
