Frequently Asked Questions
• Boundary Disputes/Confirmation: You will need to contact Land Registry for this information

Please note, we do not provide any informal advice on lawful uses/development or whether planning permission is required for proposed development due to the complexity of the planning system, and any such requests will be referred back to our website.
