Part 1The Land Register
The cadastral map
11The cadastral map
1
The cadastral map is a map—
a
showing the totality of registered geospatial data (other than supplementary data in individual title sheets),
b
showing for each cadastral unit—
i
the cadastral unit number,
ii
the boundaries of the unit, and
iii
the title number of any registered lease relating to the unit, and
c
otherwise depicting registered rights in such manner as the Keeper considers appropriate.
2
A cadastral unit which represents a separate tenement must be shown on the map in such a way as will distinguish it as a cadastral unit from other units.
3
The cadastral map may (but need not) show the boundaries of cadastral units on the vertical plane.
4
The cadastral map may contain such other information as the Keeper considers appropriate.
5
The cadastral map must be based upon the base map.
6
The base map is—
a
the Ordnance Map,
b
another system of mapping, being a system which accords with such requirements as the Scottish Ministers may, by order, prescribe, or
c
a combination of the Ordnance map and such other system.
7
On the base map being updated, the Keeper must make any changes to the register which are necessary in consequence of the updating.
8
For the purposes of subsection (1)(a), the Keeper may determine what data is supplementary data.
9
This section and sections 12 and 13 are without prejudice to section 16.
12Cadastral units
1
A cadastral unit is a unit which represents a single registered plot of land.
2
Subject to subsection (3), the same area of land cannot be represented by more than one cadastral unit.
3
The Keeper need not represent a plot of land such as is mentioned in section 3(7) as a separate cadastral unit but may instead include it in the cadastral unit representing the plot or plots of land of which it is a pertinent.
4
The Keeper must assign a cadastral unit number to each cadastral unit.
5
The cadastral unit number is to be the title number of the plot of land which that unit represents.
13The cadastral map: further provision
1
Where a plot of land—
a
lies wholly outwith the base map, or
b
extends partly outwith the base map,
the Keeper may adopt such means of representing the boundaries on the cadastral map as the Keeper considers appropriate.
2
The Keeper may—
a
combine cadastral units,
b
remove a cadastral unit from the map, or
c
divide a cadastral unit.
3
On dividing a cadastral unit under subsection (2)(c), the Keeper may combine any of the resultant parts with a different cadastral unit.
4
The Keeper must make such changes to the register as are necessary in consequence of anything done under subsections (2) and (3).
