What is curtilage listing ?
This is where buildings, structures or objects are ‘deemed’ to be listed by virtue of being within the ‘curtilage’ of a listed building. Curtilage listed buildings, structures and objects are afforded the same protection and restrictions imposed as a listed building with its own listing entry. (Curtilage is defined as the enclosed area of land around a dwelling. It is distinct from the dwelling by virtue of lacking a roof, but distinct from the area outside the enclosure in that it is enclosed within a wall or barrier of some sort. It is typically treated as being legally coupled with the dwelling it surrounds despite the fact that it might commonly be considered “outdoors”.) The majority of guidance in relation to establishing whether an object or structure is curtilage listed comes from Case Law and can be complicated.
