Types of local land charges search

The local land charges search will include information about:

• the planning history of the land
• planning policies affecting the land
• developments which will directly affect the land
• local land charges that restrict the use of the land
• local land charges that will pass to any new owner of the land (such as conservation areas, tree preservation orders or listed buildings)

A local land charges search is made up of:

• Form LLC1, a search of the Local Land Charges Register, which we have a statutory duty to maintain
