Additional information
The municipality, the Land Registry, and other private and government agencies are responsible for land surveying. The Land Registry's survey is decisive in determining the area of a plot of land. The municipality (or the Land Registry on behalf of the municipality) also measures the so-called underground infrastructure, such as cables and pipes, and marks these on a map.
Surveying data is topographical data. This includes, for example, data on the height and surface area of land or buildings. But it also includes data from measurements of trees, cables, pipes, and property boundaries. The municipality uses this data when drawing up the environmental plan.
