Access Agreements
If there is an area of our land that you wish to use/occupy or have access across then we may be able to grant permission to do this. Permission is granted by way of a Licence Agreement. This may also be an option where you have applied to buy some land but this has been refused.
A Licence Agreement does not give you a legal interest in the land, but it gives you a right to occupy and use it or to have access over it. The Agreement is usually renewed on an annual basis and an annual Licence fee will be payable. The Licence can be terminated by either party by giving notice under the terms of the agreement. The process for setting up a Licence Agreement is similar to that for buying land but the fees are much lower.
Licences for use and occupation
This type of licence agreement may be suitable for the following:
- To use land adjacent to your property for additional garden land; and
- To use land adjacent to your property for parking private motor vehicles.
Licences for access over our land
You may need to cross our land to obtain access to your land for example; you may need to cross one of our garage sites to get access to your property either by car or on foot.
If you have a gate that opens onto our land and you use that for access then you need to have a Licence Agreement.
For example, you may have a driveway on your property but need to cross our land to get to that driveway.
(Please note that all relevant consents must be attained before any alterations should take place)
