I do not know who owns a tree, which is causing me concern - will the Council know?

Unfortunately the Council does not hold records of land ownership, and therefore cannot advise on the ownership of trees, the Land RegistryThis link will open in a new window (This link will open in a new window) at Durham does hold details of land ownership. A charge is made for this service.
