Land and buildings we own

The council owns a host of property assets (land and buildings) across the district. Most are evident to the public i.e. council offices, community centres, parks, car parks, etc. However, there are also other assets that the council leases out to organisations that the public may not be aware of.

As part of our aim to ensure transparency, you can view all the councils land and buildings we own and use.

Please note that the Unique Property Reference Number (UPRN) is a unique number assigned to every addressable location recorded by local government, this is a statutory obligation. Not all assets on the list will have a UPRN. Furthermore, roads, verges and footpaths listed do not form part of the adopted highway.

In line with the Local Government Transparency Code this information is updated on an annual basis.

We are unable to provide information on any land that is not owned by the council.
