Alternatively we can apply on your behalf to Severn Trent Water and/ or the Coal Authority for reports if requested at the time of submitting your full Local Authority Search.
Yes, we can tell you if the site is within 250 metres of a former or operational landfill site.
The Pollution Control Division (01922 658040) is able to supply a map or location plan showing the boundary of the landfill site(s) in question and, in some cases, a synopsis of relevant details.
A plan is essential when submitting a search on land/commercial or industrial sites. For a numbered residential property it is not essential, but is advisable to ensure accuracy.
We aim to return both standard and non-standard full local authority searches within within 5 working days.
No, but our land terrier services within property and development can tell you if it is within council ownership. Contact assetmanagement@walsall.gov.uk or telephone (UK) 01922 658338
For privately owned land contact the land registry.
