Understanding easement plans
An easement plan shows the surveyed location and extent of an easement area. It may be relevant to access, drainage or services associated with a property or development. The purpose and proposed route should be clear before survey and drafting work is commissioned.
SurveyWorx can discuss the plan information needed and its relationship to a draft 88B instrument, where relevant. The survey plan and the legal wording serve different purposes. Have your legal adviser address the rights and obligations proposed for the affected land.
Prepare your easement plans enquiry
To scope your easement plans enquiry, provide:
- Current title and deposited plan information
- The proposed easement purpose, route or affected area
- Relevant engineering drawings and development requirements
- Instructions from your solicitor and information about the affected properties
If an easement already appears on your title, share the recorded plan and instrument. Do not assume a new survey can revoke, transfer or alter existing rights. Explain whether you need to locate an existing easement or document a proposed one.
FAQs
Our answers to your questions.
Is the easement plan the same as the legal instrument?
No. The plan identifies the relevant area while the legal instrument addresses the associated terms. Agree which survey documents are needed and have the proposed wording reviewed by your solicitor. The documents should refer consistently to the intended land and purpose.
Can you help with an existing easement shown on a title?
Share the title, registered plan and instrument, together with the question you need answered. SurveyWorx can discuss the survey information required. Questions about enforcement, release or changes to legal rights should be referred to your legal adviser.
What should I provide for a proposed drainage or access easement?
Provide the property and title information, proposed route, relevant design drawings and any written planning or engineering requirements. Identify the parties coordinating the proposal so the survey scope, supporting documents and responsibilities can be discussed.
