Description: An owner of land not only owns the surface but also the space above and below. Although upper and lower limits for a standard parcel of land are not clearly defined or delineated on a plan, the courts have generally accepted that these ownership rights extend above and below the surface as necessary for the ordinary use and enjoyment of the land.The definition of an air space parcel in Section 138 of the Land Title Act is “ a volumetric parcel, whether or not occupied in whole or in part by a building or other structure, shown as such in an air space plan”. This would include clearly defined upper and lower limits and side boundaries that are marked on the air space plan as shown in Figure 1. The purpose of creating air space parcels is for the occupation of the volumetric space by a permanent structure, such as a building or overpass, or to preclude anyone else from using the volume of space, such as a flight path for an airport runway. The aerial walkways linking department stores to their parking lots across the street in downtown Vancouver are examples of very simple air space parcels. An air space parcel may consist wholly of air space, or air space and land, or possibly air space, land and water. Subject to practical constraints and certain rules and regulations, an air space parcel may take any shape and become very complex. If an air space parcel were used to legally separate two or more components of a multi-use development, the boundaries would follow the configuration of that component of the development.
