Non CON29 searches

A CON29 search only tells you the adoption status of a road. It does not tell you the extent (width) of the street.

If you need information about the extent of the street maintainable at public expense, and for all other questions related to public rights of way or road and traffic data, please use the online enquiry form.

Attach a plan, outlining the specific information you require.
