Personal Search Process and Guidance

These are searches of public registers held by local authorities and utility companies. A personal search does not provide all the information on a full (LLC1 and CON 29) search.

Anyone can view a public register and you can make a request by email to landcharges@staffordbc.gov.uk, providing the following:

  • A location plan of the property/area to be searched against clearly outlined in red.
  • The correct postal address including postcode must be quoted.

If we hold any information we will email you back within 4-5 working days.

  • The Local Plan is available online to view information on Land Designations and Proposals.
  • Information regarding The Contaminated Land Register, Hazardous Substance Consents and Noise Abatement Zones can be obtained by contacting our Environmental Health section.
  • Information on Road Adoption, Public Rights of Way are available at Staffordshire County Council. Contact these services directly to make an appointment.
  • All enquiries regarding Public or Adopted Sewers should be directed to Severn Trent Water.
