21 houses on The Crescent sit on a plot the house barely covers

Is this your house?
Whether a house can go in a garden is decided by the local authority case by case. England sets no minimum plot size that grants it, and a private garden is not previously developed land — several London boroughs have a policy that weighs against building in one. We measure the plot and show what is on record against it — the designations, the road access, and how the council decided the same question nearby. We do not know who owns any property on this road: the Land Registry publishes boundaries and withholds the owner.
