Local Land Charges Service
From 3rd April 2023 we will no longer provide a Local Land Charges search service.
After this date, our Local Land Charges Register will have migrated to HM Land Registry’s national register. You will be able to access a new digital service through Portal, Business Gateway and on HM Land Registry’s GOV.UK pages.
Pembrokeshire County Council will continue to provide replies to Con29 enquiries.
It is important to remember to only submit the required fee of £124.80 (residential) £124.80 (commercial) when submitting a CON29 enquiry to us after 1st April 2023

What is the Local Land Charges Service?
The Local Land Charges service is provided for anyone purchasing, property or land within the Pembrokeshire County Council boundary area.
The purpose of the service is to make sure prospective purchasers have all the information they need on a particular property or plot of land to be make an informed decision.
You can request Local Land Charges searches online via My Account
How does the service work?
Each time a property or piece of land is purchased or leased a valuation is carried out. Our Local Land Charges team then maintain the Local Land Charges Register to make sure that when a search on the property or piece of land is carried out the information is up to date and accurate
A search involves an:
- CON29 form which provides information regarding highway, planning and environmental matters
We also work closely with other teams such as:
- Transport
- Environment
- Development
- Social Care
- Housing
What we need you to do
For us to deal with your property or land search promptly we need you to:
- Make sure that an up to date ordnance survey location map (scale 1:2500) is submitted with every search application with the boundary of the property clearly shown
- Request Local Land Charges searches online via My Account
Tip: for example, information on additional side or back roads, or roads running alongside the boundary of the property or land will only be returned on the search if they are specified by name in ‘Box C’ or referred to or highlighted on the submitted location plan
