We keep a Land Charges Register that records relevant information on every property/parcel of land in the borough.
Updated daily, the register contains information on planning permissions, highway status/proposals, conservation area designation, tree preservation orders, enforcement notices, improvement grants, management orders and financial charges.
A 'search' of the Local Land Charges register comprises a series of standard questions designed to give a prospective buyer information about a property/parcel of land.
To request a search, you need to fill in the following forms in duplicate:
Forms can be obtained from your solicitor or the Law Society
You can also carry out searches online via the National Land Information Service (NLIS). Visit the NLIS website or email nlishub@idea.gov.uk for more details.
You can carry out personal searches of the Local Land Charges Register online using the link below.
To request property information for CON29 forms under the Environmental Information Regulations (EIR) 2004, email communications@rugby.gov.uk with the address of the property and a site location plan clearly showing the property boundary.
Please note, we do not respond to requests for information under the EIR when the information is publicly accessible.
We do not answer question 4.
A reply to this enquiry requires substantial research. It would be necessary to identify all planning application proposals approved within 200 meters of the property (since 1948); establish, by examination of the approved plans and drawings, which of these proposals included road works of the type described in question 4; and identify, where such works were included, whether or not the works have been completed for which a survey may be necessary. The register of planning applications is available for inspection should you wish to appoint your own consultant to undertake this work.
Warwickshire County Council holds this information. You can contact (01926) 412391 or email planningstrategy@warwickshire.gov.uk for more information.
Drainage and water searches should be submitted on the CON29DW form to Severn Trent Water Conveyancing Searches.
