Sample Property Section Styles - Seabed
- Editor9
Under section 113(1) of the 2012 Act, the seabed of the territorial sea of the UK adjacent to Scotland falls within the definition of "land" for the purposes of registration in the land register. The territorial sea limit extends 12 nautical miles from the coast. The Keeper has introduced an additional single operational area for registration of seabed plots. Title numbers allocated to subjects registered in this operational area will be prefixed with SEA.
The style of property section description to be used will be dependent upon the style used to describe the area of seabed included in the application - since the area of seabed may be far removed from the coast, the subjects may be described by reference to any adjacent localities or the nearest town.
Only a few examples of seabed property sections have been given below - if the examples cannot be adapted to fit with the application you are working on, please refer to a senior adviser for guidance.
