We'll need to know the boundaries of the land in question and if possible the full postal address.
It's often difficult to give a precise answer to queries handled over the phone.
For a more precise answer we recommend that you submit a plan or map showing the exact boundaries of the land in question.
We're unable to answer queries relating to land we're not responsible for. We also do not deal with issues relating to boundary disputes.
If you have any enquiries about the following, please read the related information:

The estates team role
The estates team works on behalf of various departments and other government bodies, including the Fire and Rescue Service and Diocese of Derby, to provide a professional property advisory service.
This includes providing valuation advice and the negotiation of land and property acquisitions, disposals and management of existing land and property holdings.
Other work carried out by the estates team includes:
- tenancy renewals
- service of notice to tenants and travellers
- rent reviews
- asset and rating valuations
- insurance valuations
- negotiation and agreement of compulsory purchase compensation claims
- representation on our behalf in proceedings brought before the court, land tribunal and Local Government Ombudsman
They also provide advice on whether we own or lease land.
The overriding aim of the team is to ensure that we obtain good value for money in all our property dealings.
Trespass and vandalism on our land and property
Each year we have to spend money we can't afford to repair buildings damaged by vandalism or land damaged by illegal trespass.
Please contact us during the day on telephone: 01629 536219 or telephone: 999 if you see anyone behaving suspiciously near our property.
