Types of local searches and local land charges

You can request a variety of land and property search data under the environmental information regulations (EIR). 

Some of this information is available on our website using the links:

• public rights of way map
• city local plan
  • south map
  • north map
  • core spatial strategy (adopted 2009)
  • saved policies from the previous city plan
• tree preservation orders
• contaminated land register
• recent planning applications (back to approximately 1999)

For other information, you would normally need to arrange to visit us to view the data. Some of this information is held in free statutory public registers and can usually be inspected on the PC at our offices. 

However, this is not currently possible and therefore you should contact the data holders to make a request for the information you require.
