describe what is now identified in planning terms as "Previously Developed
Land"; that is, land that has generally had some substantive form of
development upon it in the past. The term is generally being interpreted by
caselaw (and in some Local Plans) as to the nature and extent of what may

Conditions in planning permissions
Curtilage The curtilage of a building is land
within which the building is set and which belongs (or once belonged) to it and
is or once was used in conjunction with it. The extent of the curtilage can be
hard to determine. It may, for example in the case of a residential property
simply extend to the full land ownership including the garden. A farm, can
extend to include barns, stables and sheds. However, it does not always follow
that land within the same ownership can be considered curtilage. Some parts of
larger gardens may be viewed as beyond the curtilage.

context otherwise requires, “development,”
means the carrying out of building, engineering, mining or other operations
in, on, over or under land, or the making of any material change in the use
of any buildings or other land. (2) The
following operations or uses of land shall not be taken for the purposes of
this Act to involve development of the land— (a) the
carrying out for the maintenance, improvement or other alteration of any
building of works which— (i) affect
only the interior of the building, or (ii) do not materially affect the external appearance of the building, and are not works for making good war damage or

providing additional space in it underground; (b) the

any purpose incidental to the enjoyment of the dwellinghouse as such; (e) the use
of any land for the purposes of agriculture or forestry (including
afforestation) and the use for any of those purposes of any building occupied
together with land so used; (f) in the
case of buildings or other land which are used for a purpose of any class
specified in an order made by the Secretary of State under this section, the
use of the buildings or other land or, subject to the provisions of the
order, of any part of the buildings or the other land, for any other purpose
of the same class. (3) For the
avoidance of doubt it is hereby declared that for the purposes of this
section— (a) the use
as two or more separate dwellinghouses of any building previously used as a
single dwellinghouse involves a material change in the use of the building
and of each part of it which is so used; (b) the
deposit of refuse or waste materials on land involves a material change in
its use, notwithstanding that the land is comprised in a site already used
for that purpose, if— (i) the
superficial area of the deposit is extended, or (ii) the
height of the deposit is extended and exceeds the level of the land adjoining
the site. (4) For the
purposes of this Act mining operations include— (a) the
removal of material of any description— (i) from a
mineral-working deposit; (ii) from a
deposit of pulverised fuel ash or other furnace ash or clinker; or (iii) from a
deposit of iron, steel or other metallic slags; and (b) the
extraction of minerals from a disused railway embankment. (5) Without
prejudice to any regulations made under the provisions of this Act relating
to the control of advertisements, the use for the display of advertisements
of any external part of a building which is not normally used for that
purpose shall be treated for the purposes of this section as involving a
material change in the use of that part of the building. (6) In this Act “new development” means any development other than development of a class specified in Part I or Part II of Schedule 3; and Part III of that Schedule has effect for the purposes of Parts I and II. |
