Which two forms will be used to make a local search, and what two examples of information could the result provide?

• A. CON 29 and LLC1; Tree Preservation Order and planning decisions made or pending.
• B. CON 29 and LLC2; Building permit and highway construction.
• C. CON 30 and LLC1; Tree Preservation Order and planning decisions made or pending.
• D. CC 29 and LLC1; Public rights of way and conservation area.

Answer: (A)

Local searches in conveyancing gather information about local land charges that might affect a property. To perform one, you submit two forms: LLC1, the Local Land Charges Search Request, and CON29, the set of questions about planning, tree protections, and other local interests. The information returned can include Tree Preservation Orders, which place restrictions on trees near the property, and planning decisions made or pending, which tell you whether any planning permissions or proposals affect the property. Note that LLC2 is the certificate that records the results, not a form you use to request the search. While a local search can also reveal other matters like public rights of way or conservation areas, the two classic examples highlighted by the standard questions are a Tree Preservation Order and planning decisions made or pending.
