Local Land Charges

The Local Land Charges service is headed by the Local Land Charges Officer assisted by the Planning Technicians when necessary. The greater part of the work is managing and responding to official searches of the Register. Solicitors on behalf of their client, the property purchaser, usually submit these. The register is a statutory register and is open to inspection, by the public, personal searchers, upon payment of the statutory fee. It is a requirement of the authority to keep the register of Local Land Charges up to date.
