Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant an LDC was well founded with particular regard as to whether all of the land within the appellant's submitted red edged block plan and location plan is residential curtilage in association with use of the dwellinghouse on the land known as No. 41 Alvington Way, Market Harborough
What decided it
The land's continuous ownership by the occupiers of No. 41 Alvington Way, combined with its maintenance and visible garden function as side garden area, demonstrated an intimate association with the dwellinghouse such that it constituted residential curtilage.
