Does KCC own a (specific) piece of
land/property?
Post a plan or sketch indicating the land in question to:
Terrier Team, Room 1.47, Sessions House, County Hall, Maidstone,
ME14 1XQ. Alternatively, send it by email to
terrier@kent.gov.uk.
Please note that a plan is vital in order to accurately identify
the land in question. Answers cannot be given on the telephone as
research is very often necessary.
Who owns the land/property at…?
If you suspect the land/property belongs to KCC, read the
question above. If you suspect KCC is not the owner, contact the
Land
Registry (link opens in a new window) or the
Tunbridge Wells District Land Registry (link
opens in a new window).
Does KCC have any land/property for sale or available to
rent?
Email
estates.enquiries@kent.gov.uk
who will be able to advise.
I would like to lease/rent a particular KCC property.
To confirm that the property is owned by KCC, post a plan or
sketch of the area in question with your request to: Terrier Team,
Room 1.47, Sessions House, County Hall, Maidstone ME14 1XQ.
Alternatively, send it by email to
terrier@kent.gov.uk. Once
it is confirmed that the property is owned by KCC email
estates.enquiries@kent.gov.uk
for further advice.
There is a problem with a fence/wall/tree etc. on KCC
land.
This may be KCC's responsibility. Send a plan or sketch
indicating the land in question to: Terrier Team, Room 1.47,
Sessions House, County Hall, Maidstone ME14 1XQ. Alternatively,
send it by email to
terrier@kent.gov.uk.
If the enquiry is not about KCC land, you need to check with the
landowner. Usually deeds do not mention boundary responsibilities
and so any adjoining landowners will need to come to a mutually
acceptable agreement.
Do I legally have access to the public highway from my
house/land?
For an informed opinion concerning the boundary of the public
highway, post a plan (a sketch will suffice if nothing else is
available) indicating the land in question to Highway Definitions,
Kent Highway Services, Doubleday House, St. Michael's Close,
AYLESFORD, ME20 7BU or send by email to
sara.stevens@kent.gov.uk
My house has a restrictive covenant stating that I must get
permission from KCC before carrying out any development/extension.
How do I get permission?
Send an email to
estates.enquiries@kent.gov.uk.
You can also send your enquiry to Estates Enquiries, Room 1.49,
Sessions House, County Hall, Maidstone, ME14 1XQ.
How do I find where the boundaries to my house are?
These will be in the title deeds to your house, usually kept by
your bank or building society or possibly your
solicitor. |
