A particular style of conveyancing has been used for many years in the sale of local authority properties in the county of Angus, predominantly in the City of Dundee. Each property is conveyed with the following right included in the text of the (Feu) Disposition by the local authority to the individual purchaser:
"...the proprietors of the subjects shall be entitled to park one motor car on any of the laybys within the Estate of which the subjects in this title form part, which Estate is shown within the boundary lines coloured black on the plan..."
The plan referred to is annexed to the deed, and the full extent of the Estate is sometimes shown on an inset section of the plan. Furthermore, there is generally a reference to the Estate in the burdens applied to the property:
"...the purchasers shall be bound to contribute to the cost of maintenance, repair and renewal of the whole footpaths, services, laybys, clothes poles and boundary walls within the Estate shown within the boundary lines coloured black on the plan and the upkeep of the ground and garden areas therein used as common..."
A variety of styles have been used over the years to reference such Estates in the land register, and latterly under the 1979 Act the policy was to verbalise such references. However, under the 2012 Act, it is necessary for a plans reference to be provided for the Estate in each case. Due to the particular nature of these rights to park, it has been decided to include these plans references in a grouping containing an additional layer of the cadastral map, and not to show the references on the primary layer of the cadastral map. This will reduce the "clutter" on the cadastral map when only titles are searched, and will make it a simpler picture when someone is searching in ScotLIS.
