英国政府于周二提出取消土地注册局（Land Registry）收费墙的提案，旨在首次向公众免费提供英格兰土地所有权信息。1该计划通过提高土地透明度来促进住房建设、保护自然和改善战略规划，目前正处于为期八周的公开咨询阶段。1
新数据将涵盖英格兰和威尔士绝大部分土地的显著持有者，但不包括普通房主。1政府发言人指出，目前至少10%的土地所有者身份不明。1《谁拥有英格兰》作者 Guy Shrubsole 呼吁公众参与咨询以推动变革。1
尽管活动人士欢迎此举，但代表大地主的乡村协会发出警告。1乡村土地和商业协会主席 Gavin Lane 指出，公开个人信息可能导致隐私泄露和欺诈风险，特别是考虑到 AI 技术的影响。1
The UK government has proposed dismantling the paywall at HM Land Registry, marking the first time public access to land ownership data in England would be provided for free 1. The initiative aims to enhance transparency regarding who owns the country’s land, with officials arguing that this openness could stimulate housing development, improve nature conservation efforts, and aid strategic planning 1. The proposal is currently undergoing an eight-week public consultation period 1.
Under the new scheme, detailed records of significant holders across most of England and Wales would be made available to the general public, though ordinary homeowners are excluded from these disclosures 1. A government spokesperson noted that at least 10% of current land owners remain unidentified, highlighting the need for greater clarity in the registry 1. Guy Shrubsole, author of "Who Owns England," has urged the public to participate in the consultation process to drive necessary changes 1.
However, the plan faces strong opposition from rural interests representing large estate owners. Gavin Lane, chair of the Country Land and Business Association, warned that publishing personal information could expose individuals to fraud risks, a concern he emphasized in light of advancements in artificial intelligence technology 1. Critics argue that these privacy and security threats could lead powerful landowners to actively obstruct the implementation of the free access policy 1.
