Original dwellinghouse
The term 'original dwellinghouse' typically refers to a dwellinghouse as it was built or as it was on 1 July 1948 if it was built before then.
This is as opposed to the existing dwellinghouse, which is its current state, or its state immediately before carrying out development.
