Hi,
I have two plans of the same property. One etched in red, which I believe is own ship of land. The other is shaded in colours, which I’ve been informed  means rights of ways, responsibilities and coverts to the land. Are these colours used for shading standard or could they mean different things depending when the plans were drawn?

    The title register will detail it, but at a guess, the brown is a right of way that you have over other's land and the green could be a right of way you have to maintain for others.  

    It will be written down though in the title register.

    You need to read the text. Do you only have the plans?

    Thank you! I got a copy of the tile but it does not tell me the colours. I got the £3 copy online. Maybe I need to get the original one. Your on the line of thinking that I am and have sort after finding out. I’ve expressed this to the person who’s land it is. It’s the green section that is in question to ownership, however if a person must maintain, then that includes the trees on it that is causing damage.

    Hi. I have the text but it says nothing about the colours. It’s the green but that’s in question. It has trees on it causing damage to my land. The trees are part of maintaining and they are blocking my access.

    Those two plans don't show the same property though?
    As others have said, you need the words that go with them.

    It would probably help if you showed us what you're looking at.

    I attached the pictures of it to the post. Didn’t want to put the neighbour details up on line re text, but there is no colour key on the text.

    It is the same property. The red outline is the freehold area. The colour one shows areas of rights and responsibilities. It is the same property. The pink and gree is covered within the red outline area. The orange/brown is a access way.

    I understand that, but it’s the colours I’m seeking info on. The text does not state, so showing would have no benefit. There is no indication whatsoever of the colours. I know it means rights, responsibility and right of way. I can only go by the freehold area, edged in red, means total ownership as indicated on the text of the deeds themselve.
