Remember the Words of the late Lord Chief Justice-Lord Denning-who said- No Court in this Land-will allow a person to keep an advantage- he has obtained by fraud- No judgement of a Court-No Order of a Minister-, can be allowed to stand- if it has been obtained by fraud- FRAUD- unravels everything-

No Cover-Up for Wrongdoers
Dear Iain Wright, M.P. Member of Parliament for Hartlepool.
Thank you for your latest Letter dated 19th October 2011, I note your comments and appreciate your obvious endeavours to resolve this prolonged Property Dispute, with Land Registry, in fairness to yourself, I send the following Information for your perusal before publishing it on my Web Site, if you think that any reference to yourself is in anyway detrimental ,then please let me know before I publish and I will be happy to remove it .but I have no intention of removing any of my Allegations of Criminal activities.
1.
You very kindly informed me that you would keep me informed of any developments, in addition you stated that in order to assist me as much as you can you had written on my
behalf to Mr. Malcolm Dawson OBE, Chief Land Registrar and Chief Executive of the Land Registry, you asked Mr Malcolm Dawson OBE, to ensure that my Complaints are thoroughly Investigated and my Serious Allegations are Reviewed,
2.
Unfortunately there appears to have been very little if any investigation or indeed any Constructive Response to your request on my behalf to Mr Malcolm Dawson O.B.E. into my Allegations of what I firmly Believe to be” Criminal” activities when acting without “ANY” legal authority in Public Office, by Officers of a Government Department, Land Registry, Durham
3
This is in no way a criticism of you my Member of Parliament, but I personally do find this Conduct and the long delay by Officials of Land Registry is insulting , arrogant and disgraceful, it Indicates to me and others that you, as a Democratically Elected Member of the House of Commons, are not receiving the respect your membership of Parliament deserves, it may also highlight my own difficulties over the past 3 (years)
to receive any justice to my legitimate “whistle blowing “ of criminal activities “When someone blows the whistle” they are raising a concern about dangers or illegality that effects other members of the public, People buying property by way of a “Mortgage”
Expect to be protected from Incompetents employees of Land Registry.
4.
I do “ not “ apologise in repeating for the Record, my Allegations that Officers employed by Land Registry
Alan H Smith, Assistant Land Registrar ,
Andrew Schofield, Office Manager,
Anthony Lowes,
have “NO” legal authority to give advice to the public nor are they legally authorised to decide who is the owner of any Land and Property, as they did in the B141 application.?
This is illegal , a member of the public should have confidence in the Integrity of Government employees in positions of trust to carryout their duties in accordance with the Law.
5.
It is also important to appreciate that Land Registry simply supply information regarding the “Registered Title“. They have “NO” authority to enforce the information an d where
disputes arise then these must be resolved by either the parties involved or through legal representation and/or the “courts“ .
6.
It is my Intention to publish all of my Documentary Evidence which will prove and add substance to my allegations, a little later, for the moment I will concentrate on the allegations concerning Officers employed by Land Registry, Durham.
These serious allegations are “NOT” Unrelated. to my other Allegations directed at Officers of Hartlepool Council,
8.
Alyson Carman, Solicitor and Complaints Reviewer
Hilary Martin, Solicitor and Freedom of Information Officer
Richard Trow, Case Planning Officer,
Mr Reece, Development Control Manager
I consider that all the Named officers of both Land Registry, Durham and
Hartlepool Borough Council were Complicit in a cover up of a wider CONSPIRACY to pervert the course of justice and to cover up serious Criminal offences in Public Office. I have Documentary Evidence that Confirms and Validates all my allegations of Criminal Wrongdoing
Public authorities need to be held to account for their actions and at the very least be forced to explain them when they appear to be questionable.
To ensure that no suspicion of any wrongdoing can be directed to yourself for your endeavours on my behalf, I hereby state that all allegations published here and on the World Wide Internet are mine and mine alone, If any of my allegations statements published here and on another Internet site, WhatDoTheyKnow. relating to any of the named persons are “Untrue” or in any way “Incorrect” then they are fully entitled to pursue legal actions against me in a Court of Law, ?
it should be noted that I have been trying since August 2008, on various internet sites by writing Letters of Complaint, E-mails and Freedom of Information requests to obtain a fair and just hearing from Both Land Registry and Hartlepool Council without success, everyone should take note that “NONE” of the persons I have named have taken any legal action so far, nor is it likely that anyone named would do so, I doubt that any of the named would have the moral courage to stand up in a Court of Law and produce “any” Documentation to Challenge my Incontrovertible Documentary evidence of “Ownership” Perjury is a very serious matter ?
It also Confirms and Validates my past allegations that the above named Corrupt Fraudsters think they are above the law, they think they are unaccountable for their Criminal actions, they have previously deliberately ignored documentary evidence
“Proving” the legal “Ownership” of Land and Property Title CE 74844, “Absolute“ , and knowingly Misrepresented facts to favour a B141 applicant, containing two(2) Coloured Photographs of an “Outside” toilet door , as better proof of Land and Property Ownership, (remember Alan H Smith, Assistant Land Register as “NO” legal authority to decide the ownership of “ANY” land and Property. ?
They have also Completely failed to uphold the “Law” including the Land Registration Act 2002, and their own Published Guidance Notes 8, August 2009,
Section 2,which very clearly states that a “Registered” Title is “Guaranteed” they have also ignored the “Fraud Act 2006, Section 4, Fraud by abuse of Position. (a) (b) (c )
They can and probably will continue to ignore me, a 79 years old pensioner with
impunity, but it now appears they can ignore with Complete and Utter contempt “ANY” requests from my Democratically Elected Member of Parliament. Iain Wright M.P.
(a)
I believe that all my Documentary Evidence Land Title Deeds CE74744,
“Absolute” proves without any reasonable doubt that we are the ” legal owners of “ALL” Land and property detailed , Legally Conveyed and “Registered “ and Recorded with Land Registry, Durham on 29th March 1984. By the Chief Solicitor, of Hartlepool Borough Council, J Anthony Brown,
In addition the :-
(b)
Pre-Purchase Sale of Council House Property Survey No.M44684 by B.R. Davies BS c Hartlepool Chief Engineer and Surveyor, dated September 1983.
(c )
Supported by the “Hand Written Property Survey Report” for the attention of the “Buyers” Solicitors “Levinson Walker & Lister “ of Hartlepool, Confirming that “ALL” the Land and Property Surveyed was Recorded and all Details on Land Title Deeds CE 74844 “Absolute” had been “Checked” and were “Validated” as “Correct” dated September 1983.
(d)
In addition to our Redemption of payment of “Mortgage” acknowledged by
J.D. Walton I.P.F.A. Chief Financial Officer, when we purchased the
said property from Hartlepool Council in February 1984.

Four face jail over £100k council fraud
A DISGRACED former council boss and three business pals have been told they will be jailed after pocketing more than £100,000 of taxpayers’ cash in an elaborate building scam.
Police have also vowed to claw back their ill-gotten gains after the quartet were found guilty of the con in which bogus invoices were put through council coffers.
Council manager Michael Skirving
A fourth man, Graeme Storey, 38, was convicted of attempting to pervert the course of justice after he lied to police that he had carried out work as part of the scam.
A jury took just hours to unanimously convict the shamed men.
The fraud saw Skirving put 15 invoices through the local authority for £75,754 which was paid to
Dougherty’s one-man firm MBN Roofing and Builders.
It was for labour said to have been done by the firm on jobs in Hartlepool, Billingham and Middlesbrough.
Burns, was paid £33,740 after submitting invoices for the hire of a cherry picker platform in connection with asbestos removal contracts in Owton Manor, Hartlepool, overseen by Skirving.
But the prosecution said the cherry picker was not necessary for asbestos removal and the platform and labour was not carried out to the extent the trio claimed.
Skirving, Dougherty and Burns were found guilty of conspiracy to defraud Darlington Borough Council between October 2007 and April 2009 after a five-week trial at Teesside Crown Court.
Judge Peter Armstrong said: “You have been convicted by the jury for fraud involving public money, as far as Darlington Borough Council is concerned, and you Storey of telling lies to the police to bolster that fraud.
“The amounts involved are serious and you can expect, I’m afraid, custodial sentences.”
The jury of eight women and four men returned unanimous guilty verdicts on all charges after around five hours of deliberation.
Skirving’s department had been awarded numerous contracts to remove asbestos as part of wider housing regeneration schemes across Teesside.
The trial heard how he told Burns and Dougherty what to invoice the council for in connection with lucrative contracts.
The prosecution said the fraud was conceived between the friends in the pub and on the golf course.
Prosecutor, Rosalind Scott Bell, said the money will attempt to be clawed back under the Proceeds of Crime Act.
Skirving, of Grange Road, Burns, of Wansbeck Gardens, Dougherty, Westbrooke Avenue and Storey, of Hart Lane, all Hartlepool, will be sentenced in around three weeks time.
All four men were released on bail.
A spokesman for Darlington Borough Council said: “I can confirm that Michael Skirving worked for us and that he left of his own accord in 2009. It would be inappropriate to comment further.”
Durham Constabulary, which investigated the fraud, said it would not comment on the outcome of the trial until after the men had been sentenced.

A Record of Further Questions and Answers to Hartlepool Council
Two weeks ago we sent your letter to Iain Write, your M.P. ( for reference, there’s a copy of your letter at the bottom of this E-Mail)
I did write to thank Iain Wright M.P. for Hartlepool, for His involvement in my complaints to both Land Registry and Hartlepool Council, and to keep a record of my serious allegation of wrongdoing in the Public Domain, I here publish the answer I received to a Freedom of Information request to Hartlepool Council , a copy of which I sent through the Internet site, http://www.writetothem.com. to Ian Write. M.P. for Hartlepool.
REPLY TO FREEDOM OF INFORMATUION REQUEST
Wednesday 5th October 2011.
Dear Freedom of Information Officer,
********************
Thank you for your reply to my FOI request dated 6th August 2011.
Statutory Duty to Retain Documentary Planning Records,
as required by law.
Unfortunately I was unable to view, the under mention attachment I also received,
“it stated, sorry this type of document is not supported for viewing “?
Document 9.pdf 776K Download View as HTML
However The F.O.I. answer, did confirm that Hartlepool Borough Council has retained a copy of all planning records from 1947 onwards either electronically or paper copies.
2.
The F.O.I. Officer also confirmed that Paul Burgon visited my home on 18th march 2009 during which Mr Burgon established that the outbuilding
had been erected in excess of 4 years, “ by looking at the materials of the building”? if this statement is true ? :-
I find it totally “unbelievable” , am I to accept and believe that Paul Burgon, the enforcement officer ,can ascertain, by a simple ocular inspection, of the materials used in the construction of the extension, the date and time when the building was built.? This statement I find “absolutely ridiculous”
It would be interesting to know, what Building and Construction Qualifications, Paul Burgon , possesses which “might” give some credence to such a staggering claim.?
********************
In additional you also claim , that during this visit, on 18th March 2009.it was understood by Mr Burgon, that I stated that the conservatory had been in situ in excess of four (4) years, this I categorically “Deny“, it is Insulting,
Inaccurate , Misleading and Completely Untrue.
********************
My e-mail of Complaint to Hartlepool Borough Council in August 2008 will confirm that until then, August 2008, I was unaware that my neighbours extension had been secretly and physically attached to the rear wall of our detached wash-house
***************
This is a very serious matter, land and property I legally purchase from Hartlepool Borough Council had been Built on without Council Planning permission, but most importantly of all, they have trespassed, built, and encroached on to my Property without my permission, causing considerable Criminal Structural Damage.
Your property is probably the most valuable asset you own. That's why it's important you do whatever you can to protect it from the risk of fraud.
*******************
These ridiculous answers to my Serious Complaints and Requests for Information have turned my legitimate requests into a Circus-Like comedy
********************
I am personally disappointed by Paul Burgon’s failure to accurately recall
his visit on 18th March 2009,
It appears that he suffers from some form of memory loss, which appears to be endemic in Hartlepool Planning Department, Richard Trow also appears to suffer from a similar Complaint, possibly amnesia, they both are unable to recall with accuracy the true events when visiting my home, which I thought was to Investigate and take photographs of the Criminal damage to the outside brickwork including the illegal complete blocking off to the outside atmosphere of the Gas Ventilation System, a very serious Safety Issue, possible Fire and Explosion, the Large brass screws protruding through the rear wall, the encroachment over the top of my Wash-house roof,
the deliberate moving of the wall Cladding and the Guttering, to deceitfully indicate that the stolen land and property was in other Ownership, these items were noted for “ future Council action “ , ? but to-date, completely ignored,
All the above items mentioned are still clearly visible to view, by anyone of
Hartlepool Borough Council, both Elected or Unelected and who may possibly be interested in the Truth
It is possible that both Paul Burgon and his friend Richard Trow, Case Planning Officer, have misplaced the Photographs they both took of the criminal damage to the brickwork, as they took them at different times.
********************
In the light of the above statement, I do not think I can be accused of being pedantic or maliciously vexatious , if I do not accept Paul Burgon’s visible Inspection of the Illegal building extension, as definitive evidence that it had been erected in stu in excess of Four (4) years and can no longer be enforced against. for any breach of Statutory Regulations, I believe that Criminal damage and Property Fraud are not “Civil issues“ , and I believe have no time limit for redress. ( I have recently received correspondence that would indicate that my allegations of Fraud and Dishonesty at Land Registry, are to be investigated at a Senior Level,) in the light of that, I think I will make no further comments at the moment )
********************
Therefore I request and would appreciate some “Clarification” and in particular an “Explanation” on how the Enforcement Officer, Paul Burgon
Could Establish and Validate by a simple “visual inspection“, and answer the following ;-
(a)
on what date did work Commence to Construct the Outside Conservatory , and in the course of your Property Inspection on 18th March 2009, did it Conform to all the Building and Safety Regulations, ?
(b)
On what “date” did the Planning and Building Regulation “History Check” you claim to have, Conducted, Reveal the important “date” when the Building Construction Operations were Substantially “Completed”
(c )
the Goggle Arial Photograph you supplied certainly can not be accepted as definitive evidence of time and date.? Of Completion.
*********************
All law abiding citizens and Council Tax payers are Legally Entitled to Submit Legitimate Complaints and Freedom of Information Request to their Local Council, and I maintain, that all, and any, alleged breaches of Planning Control received from Members of the Public, should always be Recorded and Investigated.
My genuine Complaints to Hartlepool Borough Council since August 2008, have still not been addressed, or honestly Investigated ?
*******************
I have quite a number of e-mails, ( It is my Intention to publish all these e-mails from all Council officials in the near future on :-
http://alanflounders.blogspot.com/
that not only contradict the above statements but others, one e-mail from your Enforcement
Officer Paul Burgon, stating for clarification of a Breach of Condition Notice (BCN) and the 10 year rule ,
states that they are not relevant in this case because your neighbour's extension does not benefit or
Required “Planning Permission.” ?
This e-mail from Paul Burgon, I still find totally confusing, say’s that “No” objections were recorded in a four (4) year period, when I myself,
lodged a complaint in “August” 2008, and again in September 2008,
Footnote,
I will continue to up date this continuing exposure to Public Gaze of this Breathtaking Arrogant Ridiculous Behaviour, which shows, in my opinion, a complete and utter contempt for the views of any Hartlepool Citizen "who" it should be remembered, pay the extravagant wages of these so called servants of the public.?

Disgraceful, Disgusting Dishonest, The B141 Application to Land Registry
A brief History of my Campaign to expose and to record the deliberate abuse of power in Public Office.
My Replies to a B141 Application , it could happen to you, all I did was object to the Theft of my Property. I confess I knew next to nothing about Buying Property,and I'm still learning now, but after a couple of years searching the internet , you very soon learn , thanks everybody out there, I think the Internet is great.
Copy of Letter received from Alan H Smith, Assistant Land Registrar In reply to my further objections on 23rd October 2008, to a B141 Application dated 14th October 2008, to alter the extent of the entries in the Register of Title CE74844,”Absolute” Registered 29th March 1984.
*******************
The B141 Application dated 14th October 2008, contained as evidence in support of the application to alter the extent of the entries in the “Register” of Title CE74844, “Absolute” consisted of :-
(1)
A Ordnance Survey Map reference NZ4935NW, showing the general position , not the exact line, of the boundaries, it may be subject to distortions in scale, It is very important to note the following:-
(This is “NOT” an “Official Copy” of the Register of Entries, and is “NOT” admissible as evidence of the Contents of the Land Register )
(2)
A photo-Stat copy of part of an Engineering drawing from the office of B.R. Davies, B.Sc. Chief Engineer and Surveyor, & Planning Officer of Hartlepool Borough Council, date stamped October 1971, when “Both” “Council House Properties” where in the Ownership of the Hartlepool Borough Council.
(This again, is “NOT” an “Official Copy” of the Register of Entries, and is “NOT” admissible as evidence of the Contents of the Land Register )
********************
The fact that Alan H Smith Assistant Land Registrar, Durham, could possibly accept the above frivolous documents as Stronger Proof of Ownership than our Title Deeds CE74844 “Absolute” Registered 29th March 1984, listed below, is unbelievable. And must be viewed with suspicion .
********************
The Pre-Purchase “Sale of Council House” Property Search and Survey ,
No. M44684 by B.R. Davies, B .S .c. C. Eng. M.I.C.E. Senior Engineer and Chief Surveyor of Hartlepool Borough Council , dated September 1983 ,
********************
The attached “Hand Written” Survey Report Document” for the attention
of the “BUYERS” Solicitors, Levinson, Walker & Lister, of Hartlepool Clearly “ Confirming” that “ALL” the Land and Property Details Surveyed, and Recorded on Land Title Deeds CE 74844 “Absolute” had been “Checked” and were “Validated” as “CORRECT” Dated September 1983?
********************
I also have a “Official Copy” of the Register of Title ,number CE74844, Edition date 12.11.1992. Issued on the 10th October 2008, by Land Registry,
Showing the entries in the Register of Title on the 9th October 2008, 10.55.27. Which confirms as correct the details Surveyed , and Recorded on Land Title Deeds CE74844,in September 1983, Registered 29th March 1984.
********************
The above “Official Copy” also proves that the B141 applicant has shot themselves in the “foot” by submitting this application to Land Registry on 14th October 2008, to try to alter the extent of the entries in the Register of Title CE74844,”Absolute” Registered 29th March 1984, confirms my previous allegations of Wrongdoing by officers of Hartlepool Borough Council, both Legal and Planning by “Granting Retrospective planning Application H/2009/ 0568 in the knowledge that the applicants submitted fraudulent Ownership Documents “A” and “B” claiming falsely and deceitfully ,that the Land and Property they had originally built without planning permission, was in their “Registered “ Land Title DU37533.
In August 2008. More on this Later, I have no Intension of allowing Fraud and theft to go unrecorded
********************
Needless to say, I lodged a series of objections, included allegations that things were not quite right at Land Registry, my allegations of wrongdoing
Where strongly rejected by Andrew Schofield, Officer Manager. ???
********************
I received various other letters and documents over a period of some months from Alan H Smith Assistant Land Registrar, Durham, I even arranged a personal visit to Land Registry, Durham, to show Alan H Smith and Andrew Lowes, my Documentation, all to no avail.
I did receive other letters and documents from Land Registry
in an attempt to prove Ownership of part of my Land and Property, all of which I rejected, as Ridiculous, and an insult to my intelligence,
********************
I was eventually awarded £300. Sent to me, on the recommendations of the Land Registry Complaints Reviewer Elizabeth Derrington , which I returned,
I stated that I cannot accept your cheque at this moment in time, to do so, would indicate that I have “accepted and agreed,” that all the Maladministration Charges, including my claim of Fraudulent Activities,
in addition to my Freedom of Information requests had been satisfactorily dealt with in full, this is definitely NOT the case.
********************
a few more of the outstanding documents in December 2008, I list below.
********************
Alan H Smith
Assistant Land Registrar.
Land Registry
Durham Office
Our Ref; CE74844/A/146/AHS/EHSTO
Date 5th December 2008.
Dear Sir,
Further to our Telephone conversation earlier to-day, I enclose , as agreed, a copy of the “Land Registry Survey” ?
(a)
Enclosed was “not” an “ Official Copy” showing the entries in the Register of Title, but a Photo-stat copy of a Ordnance survey map reference;- NZ 4935NW. Title number, DU37533/J419CRJ. Not Dated and showing no details but a general view of Council Owned property in the area of West-View. of Hartlepool. ???
(b)
Under S.67 of the Land Registration Act 2002, a (“Official Copy” is admissible in evidence to the same extent as the “Original”,)
(c )
Two additional Ordnance survey maps reference;- NZ 4935NW. Title Number Post Survey plot-Du37533, Not Dated, with additional building now added ? These “two” were also “NOT” “ Official Copies” showing entries in the Register of Title.
(d )
Two : Coloured Photographs of an “Outside Toilet”. ?
One : Showing the “Toilet” with the “Door” in the “Open” position
One : Showing the “Toilet” with the “Door” in the “Closed” Position ?
*******************
I am completely amazed that Alan H Smith, Assistant Land Registrar , Durham, can even consider the above frivolous documents as Proof of Land and Property ownership. one must question , and be highly suspicious of the conduct of some Officers , who occupied, what I thought were Positions of Authority with Land Registry, who appears to be completely unaware of their legal Responsibilities,
(1)
Alan H Smith, Assistant Land Registrar , does not appear to be fully conversant with the Land Registration Act 2002, nor Land Registry Public Guide 8, August 2009, updating and replacing the December 2005 Edition.
********************
Section 2
A Registered Title is “Guaranteed “
Title Deed CE74844 “Absolute” was “Registered” 29th March 1984.
********************
Title “Absolute”-this is the best class of Title to have and “Cannot” be challenged, even if a person can prove that they would be , but for the present Proprietor’s Registration with Title “Absolute”, entitled to be Registered as the Proprietor,
Section 4
Proving Ownership.
When someone applies to Register Title to their property for the first time they must prove they own the property, if they can show that they own the property ,they will have their name Recorded in the Proprietorship Register, as the Registered Proprietor. The Registered Proprietor is the Legal Owner of the Property
Section 6.1
Official Searches.
The search will reveal any other entries that have been made on the Register
Since the date of the official copy the “Seller” has supplied. The official search will also give the “Buyer” a period of ( 30) thirty working “days” in which to Register the transfer.?
Section 6.2
Registering the Transfer.
If the “Buyer” Registers the transfer with in the period referred to in Section 6.1 Official searches , ( 30 ) thirty working “days” the transfer should not be affected by “ANY” other matter, like a Mortgage or another transfer of the property, that was “NOT REVEALED” on the official copy or the official search, “Buyer” should ,therefore, always make sure that they apply to “Register” their transfer within this period (30) working days.
********************
Land Registry Advisory Policy states that they will not provide “ANY” legal advice, if that the case , how can Alan H Smith be “Legally Qualified” and “Competent” to decide who is the Legal owner of any Land and Property,
Particularly on the evidence of two coloured photographs of an Outside Toilet and door.

Buying a Council House in Hartlepool can be Hazardous and Costly
I wish to Thank once again my Member of Parliament, Iain Wright M.P. for Hartlepool, who has informed me, to-day, that he has received a letter of acknowledgement from the Customer Service office of Land Registry, in respect of my Serious Allegation of Misfeasance in Public Office by Officers employed in Land Registry, Durham,
******
Who state they will give a full response as soon as possible,
Does this mean that a possible Internal Investigation will be launched at last, into my allegations, that I was defrauded of a part of our legally purchased Land and Property, first “ Registered” with Land Registry on 29th March 1984 on Land Title Deeds CE 74844.”Absolute”. Watch this space !
******
In the Interest of fair play, and to keep my M.P. Iain Wright up to speed on my Complaints regarding Land Registry and Hartlepool Borough Council,
******
(they have both played a disgraceful part in this sordid affair ) and I have Documentary Evidence to prove it.
******
I think a little background information is required to enable everyone else interested, and any one who purchases a ex-Council House has in my case, or property by a “Mortgage” should be particularly vigilant and know what you should guard against in dealing with Land Registry. And to form an opinion on this on- going dispute with both Hartlepool Borough Council, in particular the Planning Department and Land Registry, Durham. “Remember” It could happen to you,
******
“Everything is Funny as long as it is happening to somebody else,” (Will Rogers)
******
I wish to make it clear from the start that this Peaceable Protest is“NOT” I repeat “NOT” a planning application dispute as such, it is, and always was,
a Protest against the Granting of a Controversial Retrospective Planning application H/2009/0568, by Richard Trow, Planning Officer and Mr Reece, Development Control Manager, of Hartlepool Council, who decided to “Grant” this particular controversial application, without any input or discussion with the Elected Councillors of the Planning Committee , and in the full knowledge that the Controversial Retrospective application was invalid, in that it contained Fraudulent Documents, in the form of Ownership Certificates “A” and “B”. claiming Ownership of Land and Property “NOT” in their Legal Land Title. DU 37533.These ownership certificates are part of the standard application form.
******
1 September 2010
Dear Sir,
Thanks for your enquiry to the Department for Communities and Local Government. The answers to your questions are:
Ownership certificates
50. Under section 65(5) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, read in conjunction with Article 7 of the GDPO, the local planning authority “must not” entertain an application for planning permission unless the relevant certificates concerning the ownership of the application site have been completed. All applications for planning permission must therefore include the appropriate certificate of ownership. An ownership certificate A, B, C or D must be completed stating the ownership of the property. For this purpose an ‘owner’ is anyone with a freehold interest, or leasehold interest the unexpired term of which is not less than seven years. Ownership certificates must also be completed for applications for listed building consent, and conservation area consent for demolition.
******
David Cameron (Prime Minister; Witney, Conservative) Questions September 7 th 2011,
What I would say is that it is a basic issue of fairness: everyone in this country has to obey the law, including the law about planning permission Where this has been done without permission it is an illegal development
******
Richard Trow Planning Case Officer for Hartlepool Borough Council, was I believe , the draughtsman, who first drew-up the drawing for the Planning application, later changed to a Retrospective Application, H/2009/0568,
( NO CONFLICT OF INTEREST THERE THEN ) after it was discovered
that the kitchen extension previously erected had been built without Planning Permission, and was physically attached (Tied-In) to our detached outside single skin NON-LOAD BEARING Rear Wall of the Wash-House, Completely Blocking off the Ventilation Ducts and preventing
the uninterrupted free flow of any build up of Toxic Gasses to the outside atmosphere, leaving a possible very dangerous situation of Fire or Explosion., if anyone attempted to ignite the internal Gas Boiler. ( I later had the Gas supply disconnected ) it had also caused structural damage to our Wash -House building.
******
My neighbours asked if they could have a meeting to discuss the problems and would we agree to Produce our Land Title Deeds CE74844, for Inspection and Compare them with their Land Title Deeds DU 37533,
******
in the interest of good neighbours we agreed, to a meeting to take place in our home, It very soon become apparent after both Title Deeds had been thoroughly examined by all parties, that the Detached Wash-House in dispute was in our Land Title CE74844 “Absolute” and we were the undisputed legal owners, and had been since it had been first “Registered” at Land Registry, on 29th March, 1984.
******
The neighbours Title Deeds DU37533, were examined , inspected and compared by all present , they showed “NO” details that could be construed as ownership of any Land or Property in this dispute.
Nor could they produce any other documentation to challenge our ownership.
******
Nothing , not one single Document, NO” pre-purchase “Sale of Council House” Property Search and Survey by B.R. Davies, B .S .c. C. Eng. M.I.C.E. Senior Engineer and Chief Surveyor of Hartlepool Borough Council , the (Seller) to compare to ours below. ( after all is said and done, ) B.R. Davies, B .S .c. C. Eng. M.I.C.E. Senior Engineer and Chief Surveyor of Hartlepool Borough Council, held the same office of Chief Surveyor, in 1972, the Time of the sale of Council Property, DU 37533, Registered and Recorded and was responsible for all Council Surveys as below:-
******
also Examined was our Pre-Purchase “Sale of Council House” Property Search and Survey , No. M44684 by B.R. Davies, B .S .c. C. Eng. M.I.C.E. Senior Engineer and Chief Surveyor of Hartlepool Borough Council , dated September 1983 , which also had attached a “Hand Written” Survey Report Document” for the attention of the “BUYERS” Solicitors, Levinson, Walker & Lister, of Hartlepool clearly “ Confirming” that “ALL” the Land and Property Details Surveyed, and Recorded on Land Title Deeds CE 74844 “Absolute” had been “Checked“ and were “Validated” as “CORRECT” Dated, September 1983?
******
In the light of all this Documentary Evidence our neighbour accepted that
They had been mistaken and after requesting to view and inspect the structural damage their extension had caused, to our property, she said, she would stop any further building work they had planned and would rectify the structural damage to our property. August 2008, (I could say more, but will not at this moment of time )
******
Like a any good neighbour of 46 years, I accepted these promises made and had no doubt that they would be honoured. Needless to say, I was later very Disappointed and Disgusted , when we received a B141 application from Land Registry, in October 2008,
more on my challenge to Land Registry and this B141 application, in my next post, and I will explain in more detail the following :-
It beggars belief that someone in a position of authority in Land Registry, could think it’s acceptable as Definitive Proof of Property Ownership,
To accept the following:-
(a) Documents that are “NOT” described as an “Official Copy of The Register of Entries” and are therefore “NOT” admissible as Evidence of the contents of the Register, (Under Section 67 of the Land Registration Act 2002, )
(b) Two (2) Coloured Photographs of an Outside Toilet Door.
The above is no joke,
******
A person is Entitled to Rely on the Contents of the Land Register as “Definitive” evidence of the state of the Legal Title and anyone who, in placing reliance on the Registers, suffers loss because of an error by the Registrar, is generally entitled to compensation.! ?

Who Says Members of Parliament Don't Care
Tuesday 6TH September 2011.
My Member of Parliament Mr Iain Wright, M.P. has Responded to my Letter of Complaint, published on this Blog. On Friday 22nd July 2011.
Be Prepared to Stand Up and Fight for Your Right to Own Your Home
A little Background History of my Long and Loud Campaign to expose the Dishonest and Suspicious possible Criminal activities committed by Officers employed by Land Registry, Durham and similar dishonest activities by employees of Hartlepool Borough Council.
I still believe that Favouritism, Nepotism, Cronyism, personal Greed, is still very much alive and kicking, in Hartlepool Council Chambers, as is the
memory loss epidemic sweeping through the Chambers, The “I don’t recall saying that” is such a great get out of jail free card,
Common sense and logic would dictate that any person with such a lousy memory would be lying ( where have I heard that word before ) or are simply incompetent, anyway, I think there are many in Hartlepool Council both Elected and Unelected who are in urgent need of Psychiatric treatment or at least an assessment, it appears that quite a number of Elected and Unelected Officers, are becoming obsessed , anxious and appear depressed ,
could it possible be that the disgraceful decision to close the Hartlepool Hospital has anything to do with it.?
No, I am not a Doctor in support of the Hospital, although I do think it should remain open, nor do I have any Legal Knowledge, to challenge the diabolical decision by Officers of Land Registry, Durham, I have no qualifications, none at all , when leaving the “Eton” College, of the North, “Galley’s Field” on the Headland. In 1946,
But I can’t forget my wonderful memory’s of all the boy’s and girls, I knew there. a slap around the Lugs or a Kick up the arse were every day events, still I love to reminisce ? No complaints. None what’s so ever.
I am a bit freaked by these thoughts, , don’t know why, it just sounds scary!
Most boys and girls I knew have now left us, but they have left me with some wonderful memories.! Thanks ,
All and Any Views, Comments and Opinions Expressed here, are those of the “author “ me. But I digress,
The Nation Press and Television have in the past been very Critical, to many
Members of Parliament and rightly so, their Expenses Scandal and other Criminal Acts resulting in Prison for some ,should I believe , be exposed to public view and any Dishonest Politician or Civil Servant or Council Officer, Should and must be held accountable for their wrongdoing, no-one should be above the Law. Although some think otherwise and some in Hartlepool, even think they can walk on water ?
Having said that, it gives me this opportunity to say a very big THANK YOU to my Member of Parliament Mr. Iain Wright, M.P. for Hartlepool.
Who in a Letter sent to me, from the House of Commons, thanking me for bringing to his attention my Complaints of Serious Dishonest Misconduct against Government Employed officers at Land Registry, Durham. and published on this Blog. http://alanflounders.blogspot.com/ and also available
On the WHATDOTHEYKNOW site.
Mr Iain Write, M.P. for Hartlepool, states in his letter, that in order to assist me as much as he can he has written on my behalf to Mr. Malcolm Dawson OBE, Chief Land Registrar and Chief Executive of the Land Registry,
he has asked Mr Malcolm Dawson OBE, to ensure that my Complaints are thoroughly Investigated and my Serious Allegations are Reviewed, he said he will keep me informed of any developments.
So to assist the Investigation by Mr Malcolm Dawson OBE , I have included the main points of the Suspicious Documents contained in the B141 application to change the “Recorded ” Details first “Registered” on Title Deeds CE 74844 “Absolute” with Land Registry in March 1984.
(which of course I will publish on this site )
“A Little background information to my Complaints
I have been trying for 3 years to get Land Registry and Hartlepool Council, to Investigate my Serious Allegations, supported by Incontrovertible Evidence, and many Freedom of Information Requests to Land Register , and to Hartlepool Borough Council, which I have previously said, are all available on the WHATDOTHEYKNOW site
it is very difficult for anyone to get a Government Department or a Council to commence an Investigation into any allegation of wrongdoing or even the Suspicious Conduct of Council Colleagues employed in their own department! Everyone knows where the bodies are buried, but are afraid to speak, and this is not just confined to Hartlepool Planning Department.
The start of my Campaign for Justice, commenced when I first objected to a Planning application , in August 2008, later changed, after my objection, into a Retrospective Planning application H/2009/0568.
Later I received a B141 From Land Registry, Durham. To be continued,

Freedom of Information Request to Hartlepool Council.
Documentary Planning Records
Dear Freedom of Information Officer,
A recent report available in an edition of “Private Eye” ( No.1294.) highlighted in “Rotten Boroughs” stated that some Council Officials destroyed all Controversial planning decisions, because of “lack of storage space“ , an act
a local government ombudsman called “an extraordinary and inexcusable act of maladministration “ it was further stated that “all” Councils have a Statutory Duty to Retain all “Planning Documentary Records “
1.(a)
In the light of the above report, can Hartlepool Borough Council, Confirm that they “Do” abide by their Statutory Duties and retain “All” Planning Documentary Records, both initial planning and controversial applications.
And if Not, Why Not.
2.(b)
In view of the Statutory Duties imposed on Hartlepool Borough Council to Retain “all” planning Documentary Records, can I further request that you provide me with “any” and “all” copies of Documentary “Evidence” and “Information” obtained by your enforcement officer Paul Burgon ,that he used to reach his conclusion, when he claimed he had established a Planning and Building Regulation “ history check” which confirmed that the extension built by my neighbour without Planning Permission, and later submitted as a Retrospective Application H / 2009 / 0568, had remained “unchallenged” for 4 years or more, therefore the extension cannot be enforced against. ?
I also left an annotation as follows,
This is not the first time I have used this site WhatDoTheyKnow to try and obtain information from Hartlepool Council, a list of all my requests are on this site, other request to my Member of Parliament etc. are on my blog.

I have been trying for over 3 years to expose to Public view some very suspicious decisions made by a few unelected Council Officers, and without the help of this site and the encouragement of few dedicated supporters ,I would have given up some time ago, one very dear friend sent this,
All it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing
Thanks Sheila
