Where Is The Curtilage Of A Farm ?

[Adamo]

Does anyone know who / how they decide where the curtilage of an old farm is ?

We have a building built in 2000 that's been rated as light industrial since then and would like to use the new Permitted Development rules to convert it to homes

The only issue is that if it's deemed to be "in the curtilage of a listed building" (the farmhouse is listed) then it doesn't apply

I have found OS plans dating back to 1880 showing the farm, its buildings and garden, pretty much as they are today

The modern building is built in the wood / orchard (cut down 40+ yrs ago) that is adjacent to the farm buildings and garden so it looks arguable but I'd rather not pay £2000 to apply, only to have it thrown out

Thanks

I think I'm ok - building was built after Listing and has been rented as industrial ever since
