Where contiguous parcels are owned by the same proprietor and are subject in all respects to the same rights and obligations, the Registrar, on application by the proprietor, may combine those parcels by closing the registers relating to them and opening a new register or registers in respect of the parcel or parcels resulting from the combination.
Upon the application of the proprietor of a parcel for the division of his parcel into two or more parcels, the Registrar shall effect the division by closing the register relating to the parcel and opening new registers in respect of the new parcels resulting from the divisions, and recording in the new registers all subsisting entries appearing in the closed register:
nothing shall be done under this section which would be inconsistent with this or any other law;
subject to the consent of the lessee, no parcel which is subject to a lease shall be subdivided so as to subdivide the land comprised in such a lease; and
where a proprietor is subdividing his parcel for the purpose of building development, the Registrar may require him to submit a plan of the proposed subdivisions prepared by a surveyor authorised under the Land Surveyors Law (Revised) and certified by the appropriate authority as conforming with the requirements of any planning law for the time being in force.
Upon the application by a proprietor of a parcel for the division of his parcel into a base parcel and one or more volumetric parcels, in accordance with a volumetric plan, the Registrar shall —
file the volumetric plan and assign it a volumetric plan number;
open a new register in respect of each volumetric parcel shown on the volumetric plan; and
in respect of the register relating to the base parcel, note in the encumbrances section, the easements in favour of the volumetric parcels that have been opened:
nothing shall be done under this section which would be inconsistent with this or any other law;
subject to the consent of the lessee, no parcel which is subject to a lease shall be subdivided so as to subdivide the land comprised in such a lease; and
where a proprietor is subdividing his parcel for the purpose of a building development, the Registrar may require him to submit an authenticated survey plan of the proposed subdivisions prepared by a surveyor authorised under the Land Surveyors Law (1996 Revision) and certified by the appropriate authority as conforming with the requirements of any planning law for the time being in force.
