    General Vesting Declaration - Example Deeds

      General Vesting Declaration - Example Deeds

      May 01, 2018

      General

      A general vesting declaration is registrable by virtue of section 195 and Schedule 15 of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997. The statutory form of general vesting declaration is provided by Schedule 6 of the Compulsory Purchase of Land (Scotland) Regulations 2003. A general vesting declaration must be in that form or be substantially similar to the form provided - see examples.

      A general vesting declaration is used as part of the process of compulsory purchase, and the effect of registration is to transfer ownership of the land described in the acquiring authority.

      A general vesting declaration should contain either a description by reference to a recorded or registered title(s), or a particular description of the lands affected, which may be by way of a bounding description or reference to a new deed plan.
