With reference to the above, I have been forwarded this e:mail and can
provide you with the following information.

On the information provided I can confirm that planning permission is not
required pave a section of your garden area providing that the land is
within your ownership and is within the curtilage of your dwellinghouse and
is used for the incidental enjoyment of the dwellinghouse.

I hope this information is of use to you,

Yours faithfully

its devil speak..........

 

[myzeneye]

i guess if they confuse us and from this confusion, we fall out of line.... then they can fine us.

Using an online thesaurus, curtilage apparently means the enclosed land around a house or other building.

[myzeneye]

[adamrawling]

Yes - provided that the land you want to pave is:

1. in your ownership

and

2. within the boundary of your house's land

Whatever job we do, we all have our own jargon. It's the way of the world.
