9. Who owns a piece of land?

Land ownership is dealt with by Land registry.

You can search for land and property information using the Government Land Registry Website. You can download copies of the property summary, title plan and title register for a property in the service. The council does not hold any of this information.

The Council do not have the authority to determine disputes about land ownership, but any permissions granted would not override the property rights of the neighbour should they subsequently prove to be the land owner.

If your enquiry is relating to a council owned property, please direct your enquiry to the Corporate Property Team on 01233 333111.
