What areLand Registry Compliant Plan ?
A Land Registry compliant plan is a formal document, typically a lease plan or a transfer plan, that precisely defines the boundaries of a property for official registration.
- Confirms Lawfulness: It provides formal confirmation from your local authority or legal body that your property boundaries are accurately recorded.
- Legal Shield: It acts as your shield against future boundary disputes or planning enforcement action.
- Technical Accuracy: The decision to approve a plan is based on technical facts and evidence rather than planning judgement.
- Investment Protection: Think of it as an insurance policy for your property development—once obtained, it ensures your land is legally protected.
Types Of Land Registry Compliant Plan
Certificate of Lawfulness – Proposed Development
(CLOPUD)
Get legal peace of mind before you build. This certificate confirms that your planned extension, loft conversion, or outbuilding falls under “permitted development.” It’s a vital step for ensuring your investment is legally protected before work begins.
Certificate of Lawfulness: Existing Development
(CLEUD)
Formalize what’s already there. A CLEUD confirms that an existing structure or use of land is lawful. This is essential for works completed without prior planning permission that have been in place for more than four years (or ten years for changes of use).
When You Need Land Registry Compliant Plan
