Checks
Site access plan and highway check
See who maintains the roads at the boundary, whether a right of way crosses the site and how people reach it.
In short
LandBuyer AI shows the highway authority and the roads maintained at public expense at the boundary, searches for public rights of way, and measures the frontage road. It adds bus stops, stations, schools and health facilities nearby. On Kew Yard no public right of way is mapped crossing or near the site.
