I apologise in advance for not having the exact measurements to hand, but hopefully one of you knowledgeable people will be able to answer my question anyway.
I have a mid terrace house. We recently had a breeze block shed built at the end of the back garden, and is separate from the house. Together with an existing lean-to (built by a previous owner, date unknown) we have used just under 50% of the back garden area, as I understood it to be. It was only later, through the comments of another person, that I realised that my downstairs bathroom was actually an extension built circa the early 1970's. That takes us over 50% of the back garden area.
However, if I take into account the front garden area (actually a concrete area), which is bit larger than the bathroom extension, then I am back under my 50% total curtilage allowance for permitted development.
The new shed is near the boundaries of our next door neighbours, but is less than 3 metres high with a single pitched roof and has an eaves height less than 2.5 metres. My understanding of the rules is that this aspect is OK.
Regarding my curtilage for development purposes, is my understanding correct? Can I take into account the area at the front of my house from my house wall to the highway boundary, and between the two neighbouring properties?
Sorry for rambling. Any replies are appreciated.
