Ownership of Land

We do not have any records to show who land belongs to or where boundaries are, unless the land actually belongs to us (Ribble Valley Borough Council).

We do have historic records of planning applications which could give some details of who owned land when an application was made.

If you are interested in who owns what land visit Lancashire County Council's Land and Property register.
