Waymark on a signpost

Section 31(6) deposits are a powerful tool for landowners to protect their property from claims of public rights of way arising through long-term use by the public. At H&H Land & Estates, we provide a comprehensive service to help you navigate the statutory process and submit accurate and effective deposits.

Our team will work with you to assess your land and its existing usage, preparing the necessary maps and declarations to demonstrate your intentions regarding public access. By formally registering your position, you can safeguard your land from implied dedication claims while retaining flexibility in how it is used.

We ensure that all submissions comply with the Highways Act 1980 requirements and guide you through periodic renewals to maintain protection. Whether you own farmland, woodland, or private estates, our Section 31(6) deposit services offer peace of mind, clarity, and control over your land’s future use.
