Land Surveying Across Hertfordshire
The information required to support a development is determined by the nature of the proposal and the requirements of the relevant planning authority. Hertfordshire has multiple local planning authorities, meaning the precise requirements can differ according to location and project. Establishing accurate site information early can help architects, planners and developers understand what they are working with before drawings progress.

Frequently Asked Questions
When would I need a land survey for a property in Hertfordshire?
A land survey can be useful when purchasing or developing land, investigating boundaries, planning an extension or new building, dividing a property or resolving uncertainty about existing site features.
Can a land survey help with a boundary dispute?
A survey can provide an accurate record of the physical site and the relationship between boundaries and features such as fences, buildings and outbuildings. Where a boundary is disputed, this information can help establish the factual position for discussions between parties and may provide supporting evidence for professional or legal proceedings. A survey does not, by itself, determine legal ownership.
Do I need a survey before building an extension?
The information required will depend on the property and proposed works. A survey can establish the existing building, site boundaries, levels and relevant physical features before an extension is designed. This can help architects and builders position the proposed works correctly and identify potential issues at an early stage.
Can Mija Survey survey older buildings in Hertfordshire?
Yes. A Measured Building Survey can establish the dimensions and features of an existing building where drawings may be outdated.
Does flood risk affect surveying in Hertfordshire?
Some Hertfordshire sites are affected by surface water or groundwater flood risk. Where levels and suitable drainage are relevant to the proposal, accurate topographical information may form an important part of the project information. Additional specialist flood risk or drainage assessments may also be required.
How much does a land survey cost in Hertfordshire?
Survey costs depend on the type of survey, site area, complexity, accessibility and level of detail required. Mija Survey can review the requirements of your project and provide a quotation based on the information needed.
