Land Titles

Volume 494: debated on Tuesday 16 June 2009

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice what protection against development is conferred by land titles. (280399)

Registration of title to land under the Land Registration Act 2002 does not, of itself, confer protection against development. It does, however, provide protection in other ways. For example, it gives greater security against the possibility of ownership being lost by adverse possession, or squatting as it is more commonly known.
