This lock is registered at the title level and will appear on a title print.

This lock not prohibit:

Removal of the Lock
This lock will not be removed until the replotting process is completed and ownership of the land has been finalized.
However, pursuant to Section 146(3) of The Planning and Development Act, 2007, the council can request removal of the lock or provide authorization for the proposed transaction. If authorization from the council is provided, the lock will be removed and replaced after the transaction has registered.
