All land, even unregistered land is owned by someone, ultimately its the crown. Being unregistered just makes it harder to find the owner, but there will be an owner.  If you aren't the land owner you can't just chop trees, remove stumps, plough, or use the land for access.

 

Whatever you do is bound to be noticed by the users of the footpath.  

Railway land tended to be bought under a parliamentary statute so couldn't be successfully squatted. It may still be owned by the current rail residuary body if not having been sold on.

No , it was a John whose surname escapes me, he worked for Ted Baker

Ted used a truckload of Ken Tyrrell's old racing tyres to light a bonfire at a site we were clearing in Byfleet, I ran and hid.I could see the smoke from New Haw.

Yes they all worked for Ken until he went racing full time and we all started fires with tyres ;-(. at least the racing ones were softer ant less wire??

 

Ken's brothers were still in the trade in the Shere area circa 1987

If I remember right, if the land hasn't changed ownership since I don't know 1980 or something then the records are all paper records, not online, you'd need to go to the council offices or somewhere to find that out - maybe you have done that - and also the railways rarely sell any land, they are kept as railway in case thy want to put a new track there, something in the back of my mind says they can just do that without needing acts of parliament.

Its called squatters rights and possibly later onto adverse possession

So for no one owns it - I'd be betting that it belongs to Network Rail and you need to do a physical search on paper records to find the owner details. Very little UK land in 'unregistered'

Someone dose own it, it is just that I (or even the gas works next door) dont know who it is. How do you do a  physical search on paper records if the records are in say some ones vault half way round the world on say an offshore desert island and that person may now of passed with out passing down the title deeds to there children

So what will they do if they do indeed find you squatting there land?

 

Do you have reference to this statue please?

So you are happy burning old tyres, but not happy with me occupying waste deralict land
