Residential curtilage and permitted development rights for countryside conversions
Where residential conversion is approved in the countryside, any residential curtilage created must not harm the character of the countryside, especially in Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Permitted development rights may be removed to protect the converted building or landscape character.
Where a conversion scheme to residential use in the countryside is considered acceptable any residential curtilage to be created, as part of the proposal should not have a harmful effect on the character of the countryside, particularly in Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and other areas of landscape quality. In certain cases it may be necessary to remove permitted development rights to protect the character of the converted buildings or the landscape generally.
