s31A Highways Act 1980

to deposit a statement, plan and statutory declaration under section 31(6) of the Highways Act 1980 and to view the register in which they are recorded. There are no current deposits and so the section 31A Highways Act 1980 register is empty.

Applications to register a freehold or leasehold interest in premises (vaults, etc.) under a highway should be made to the Land Registry. If that body progresses the application they will serve a statutory notice on all prospective interested parties including adjacent land owners and the highway authority. Those bodies may object to the registration or agree with reservations; such as if the sought interest would conflict with present rights in the land.
