'Please do not park here'

OP, have you used the Land Registry map search to look up if it's registered yet? If it is, £3 and you'll have your answer.
I have to no avail.. it only gives me details of the nearest garage of which the border does not include the random patch of land I’ve been parking on. It very clearly only outlines the perimeter of the garage. At the moment, you're in a position for a pleasant conversation as you've been trying to find the owner of the land to seek permission to park there. I'd have the conversation now.
Plan B - wait until you need to park there again & leave a letter addressed to the land owner.
Otherwise, head in sand I guess......

As already mentioned, Land Registry map search will give you the actual registered landowner.

Not always. At our last house we (and two neighbours) accessed our garage via an unadopted road. Every time one of the houses was sold there'd be the same rigmarole of trying to find out who actually owned the road, as the local council, county council, Highways & everyone else who was asked denied owning it. There was nothing on LR either, so the eventual result was an insurance indemnity as part of the house sale.https://search-property-information.service.gov.uk...
Ultimately, I suppose, the Crown owns anything that isn't registered anywhere else.
Perhaps I should have said 'Land Registry will either confirm who owns it or show they have no records on it'. If the latter, that is at least confirmation that further investigation is required.
If they have no records, perhaps grumpy neighbour owns it and has the deeds at home.
This thread, yet again, highlights how people seem obsessed with parking provision immediately outside their property without paying for such provision (driveway, garage, allocated bay etc.)
When I lived in a town centre and couldn’t get parked near my flat, I’d not think twice about parking it somewhere further away (in a legal and courteous manner).
Entitled and lazy. Two words that keep private parking companies in profit.

Oh come on, some very self righteous people on here (quelle surprise)
if its as OP describes, a bit of scrub land thats not being used for anything, then why not park there if its doing no one any harm ?
the issue is, does the old boy own it, or is he just being an arse
But, talk to him. Quick, easy and you will know more importantly if it is causing an issue for him which would be the most important consideration.

What an entitled idiot you are OP.
No need for that comment Dingu, I thought the OP was doing ok, and doing what most people do.I own a space near my house, it's actually on my deeds and "attached" to the boundary of my property, yet other people park there because it doesn't look privately owned.
I don't mind short-term delivery vans, repair chaps etc, but when my neighbour started parking there every night I had to take action. It's the way we British are. But in my case I knew I owned it.

Because it’s not a parking area, it’s not his land and he has been asked not to by someone that may be the owner of the land. Surely the self righteous people are those parking off road on land they don’t own?if its as OP describes, a bit of scrub land thats not being used for anything, then why not park there if its doing no one any harm ?.
Parking on scrubland is all very well but before you know it you have people parking on verges etc which may be what the neighbour who asked him not to park there is concerned about. However as the OP hasn’t spoken to the neighbour we don’t know why he doesn’t want the OP parking there.

The question at hand here is not if I should or shouldn’t be parking there, it’s if the resident down the road has any rights to the land to actually tell me where I can/can’t park.
Ofcourse I’m not pig headed enough to just keep parking there if he is the genuine owner.

Call me selfish, but I don’t really care who owns it.. if the owner comes to me and says to stop parking then I’ll listen. I’m not going out of my way to find who the owner is for the occasional time I park there when it’s busy if the real owner doesn’t actually care for this unkept bit of land
Entitled plonker IMO.You simply can't just rock up and park on a bit of land because you don't know who owns it and can't be arsed to find out.
