Answer: (B)

CON29 Enquiries focus on planning and highway matters that can affect a property's use and value. They gather information the local planning authority holds about how the land can be accessed and developed. The topics included cover road maintenance and road planning—showing who maintains the surrounding roads and any future works that could change access; public rights of way—helping you see if there are paths that cross the land; planning decisions granted, refused, or pending—revealing current approvals or constraints on development; proposals for railways—indicating potential future changes in the area; and whether the property is an asset of community value—flagging possible protections or sale implications if a community group wants to bid. This set of topics is precisely what CON29 enquiries are designed to uncover because they directly affect how the property can be used and what liabilities or opportunities might arise. Mining rights and sewer connections are typically handled through other searches, not the standard CON29 enquiries.
