Common land searches show whether the land is within common land and not owned by the public or other body.
Details
What are town and village greens and common land?
A simple definition is very hard to give. However, common land does not mean that citizens own the land in common. Often it is a piece of privately owned land where ‘through ancient arrangement’ specified people other than the owner, called ‘commoners’, enjoy a legal right ‘in common’ (collectively) to profit from the land in specified ways.
A search will show you if the land shown on your plan is within common land.
