It is used to find out whether a property or land:
- has any charges against it
- is served by a public highway
- has future developments close by
We deal with highway extent searches and the parts of the Con 29 form. The highway extent search provides information about the extent of the highway maintained by us. This can include the road, footpath and verges.
For a full local authority or local land charges register search, contact your district or borough council.

Some information is available to view free of charge. You can access public rights of way using our electronic working copy of the definitive map. However, this is not the official Definitive Map (the legal record). While every effort has been made to ensure accuracy when converting from the original paper maps, we cannot accept liability for any errors - particularly when the map is viewed at scales larger than the original mapping.
Information from the electronic working copy should not be used to carry out legal searches. If you require an official search, please submit your request through our search portal. Fees apply to all legal search requests.
