What do these symbols mean on Ordnance Survey Map please?

The series of rectangles along the boundary? I can't work it out despite googling!

We have a row of overgrown sycamore trees on the boundary of our new house. I am trying to work out if they are my responsibility or not.

I think it's a bank/embankment of some sort. You might be able to work it out by looking at the features on the ground.

Is that from an os map, doesn't look like one. Embankment on an os map are little triangles. If the red line is the boundary whatever it is is the other side.

I think it means embankment. Looking at the key on my only OS map.

So I wonder if that includes the trees growing in the embankment? Also wondering what the lollipop symbol means?

Thanks!

Is it a land registry map? According to the garden law website the lollipop on a land registry map denotes a parcel of land with no os number?

Not sure if the above would be useful for you. The garden law website forum might be a good place to post the picture and ask. They’re very good.

Thanks. Have discovered that the rectangles definately mean embankment.

So if the trees are growing in the embankment and your property is within the red line, they are not your trees. You can cut back overhanging branches and are supposed to offer them to the owners.

Yes, looks like the trees belong to the council. However, they have clearly never done anything with them.

That isn't an OS map. It looks like one submitted to the land registry, but as that can be on any base mapping so long as the site boundary is marked. So it could be anything. Presumably you know the location of the site and therefore can locate it on a map that will have a key for the described feature on your map.

Most councils have a tree officer so you could contact them. They have a duty of care to ensure the trees don't pose a danger to the public or their neighbours so if there are any broken branches or signs of rot they'll need to deal with them.

It is the land registry plan, but I know they use the OS maps .There is an embankment on the ground, but I thought the symbol might mean row of trees, which would have been a definite indication I don't own the trees!

I thought those lollipops on land registry maps meant the same as 'T's - they indicate who is responsible for the boundary.
