The dataset contains all of the land and property assets in which West Sussex County Council (WSCC) has an interest, both Freehold and Less Than Freehold. Most commonly, the data is mapped according to the different transactions that make up the ownership of a site. For example, for a school, where originally only the school buildings were owned, further land for playing fields might have been bought. These different transactions are mapped separately to make up the whole site.
The data set contains information allowing ease of reference against WSCC’s ownership terrier files, should questions arise, as well as information relating to the reason for the acquisition of the land. Areas and perimeters of individual pieces of land and the parish in which they are located are also included.
