'Land around original house' - Outbuilding PD

Posts: 1 Newbie
Hello all,
I'm building a outbuilding, and wanted some advice in size in regards to permitted development I understand that extensions and outbuildings cannot take up more then 50% of the land around the original house.
The size of outbuilding we're looking at means that just over 50% of the back garden will be taken up by an extension (built in the 80's), and the new outbuilding.
My question is does 'land around original house' include the front garden as well?, as if that's the case then the outbuilding and extension will be under the 50% limit for permitted development. To me it sounds like it does, as it doesn't specify rear of front garden?
We live in a terraced house. - Thank you!

Land around original house = plot size less footprint of original house.
So yes it included the back front and sides.0
