Listed buildings either side

lookstraightahead

Hello all
we are just about to buy a house which is attached to a listed building each side, making ours terraced. Ours isn't listed.
We will need new fencing on our boundary side, and we are looking at putting up a new shed and possibly a gazebo type building near to the back door onto the garden.
I'm finding the definition of curtilage a bit difficult to understand, we will hold the freehold of our property.
Will we need planning permission above the regular stuff because of being attached to listed properties?

No.  The curtilage of listed building is its own boundaries. 

Are you in a conservation area though?  There might be some restrictions there, but those would be unlikely to include fences, gazebos and sheds.

Thank you that sounds much better! I will check the conservation issue as the vendors have said 'not known' - can I find this out easily?

On the local authority website.  Just try googling the town/village name and conservation area.

Curtilage of a listed building can be a complicated, though it won't extend beyond its own boundaries.  More info here: https://www.curtilage.co.uk/what-defines-curtilage.html

As for conservation areas, I also used to think restrictions wouldn't extend to fences but a friend recently wanted to replace his fence in a conservation area and was restricted to using oak to match others in the vicinity.  I don't know if such restrictions are defined in law or how much is defined by the local council policies.

They are defined by local policies.
