Online Annual Review 2005/6

Comprehensive Land Register

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE 3:  Create a comprehensive Land Register for England and Wales


Increased area

A key performance target was to increase the area of freehold registrations by a further 5 per cent of the total area of England and Wales. This target was extremely tough, yet we were able to increase the registered coverage of England and Wales by 5.87 per cent.

The keys to this success were an increase in the skills of the staff charged with obtaining the necessary applications, a more focused approach on the largest landowners and allocating more than 400 dedicated staff to process the work. More than 350 voluntary projects ranging in size from farms up to large and complex local authority holdings were completed, as well as thousands of smaller landholdings
