Agents note: The area of land shaded green is classified as amenity land and all the mature trees along the eastern boundary are protected by Tree Preservation Orders. In planning terms, amenity land is an area which can be used for the enjoyment of the detached dwelling, but cannot be considered residential curtilage, so there can be no permanent domestic structures on it, unless this restriction can be changed.
