Start by clicking on 'Map Enquiry'
Then enter the name of the street and the town before clicking 'Search'. (You can leave the other fields blank).
Then follow the instructions to move around the map, looking for the land that you're interested.
When you've found it, zoom into it and then turn 'Find Properties' on.
If the land is registered you should then be able to download a copy of the title deed for £3. (There's a registration process to go through but it's very straightforward).
That search facility works for all registered land, irrespective of whether or not there are any houses (or other buildings) on it.

Ask at your local council. If there have been garages put on it there should be evidence of either Planning permission at some time or the person who has paid the rates.
Its worth asking residents of the adjacent houses if they know who the land belongs to. If the owner has died with no beneficiaries then the land will have become crown property and there could be a record of it. Of all these , I think local knowledge is the quickest and easiest way to find out the history of the land.

The land backs on to a conservation area, which holds a Grade 1 listed building. It has garages on that have been there for quite some time, at least 40 years. Someone has applied to demolish the garages and build a dormer bungalow. It would be raised above the conservation area and overlook the Grade 1 building. To me, it's inconceivable that anyone would want to build a home in such a precarious position. But I'm assuming that full surveys have been carried out as plans have been submitted but not yet published. A dispute may arise about ownership of the land, which is why I was trying to see what it says on the LR website.
Clarion only time will tell I guess. My neighbours and I have a planning issue ongoing with a change of use for an old industrial building into a Yoga studio. I don't have any problems with anybody starting a business, but what will happen with parking is our problem. Our street and houses where built before everyone was a 2 or 3 car house, our house still has turning space in garden, now shared for stage coaches and horses.
The Planning Application ought to be acompanied by a completed Certificate B (or C.....or D) if the Applicant is *not* the sole owner of the land on which the development is to take place. This will give the name(s) and address(es) of the people who *do* own the land, to be legal. There are exceptions to this, but it is a good place to start.
Have a look at the on-line Planning Application.
