    Is the land registry maps the definitive location for the boundary outline of a site?

    In the case where a planning permission is granted based on a boundary that does not match the land registry Folio map...is that an issue??

    Thanks.

    Land registry maps may not always reflect the actual situation on the ground. The actual location of existing boundaries will always take precedence over land registry maps. Regarding the second question, it will be an issue if it is made one!

    I'd be asking if the OP is about to buy this house/site? And advising that a local engineer/ arch/ AT might be best placed to check this out and offer a professional opinion along with the op's solicitor.

    Thanks for the advice Maidhci and BrianF.

    I'll be checking this with Engineer tomorrow, just wanted to get some feedback on this.

    Seems like the Land registry is not the definitive and neither are the maps under the granted planning.

    Don't thank me i didn't say that.. and couldn't comment with the info provided. A boundary in planning not matching folio where when scaled if out by 30cm is very different to one out by 30m

    From the Property Registration Authority Ireland website:
    The Land Registry operates a non-conclusive boundary system which means that the map does not indicate whether a boundary includes a hedge or wall or ditch etc. However, the physical features along which the boundaries run must be accurately identified.

    Considering the scale the maps are drawn/printed at, exact measurements cannot be taken from the maps as being the accurate reflection of the boundary. It's indicative only. The historical and existing physical features on the site (in approximation to what's shown on the map) usually denote the boundary (eg. if it's a line of trees, the boundary would be along the centerline of the trees, for a wall the boundary is along the centerline of the wall etc).
