Given your use of the land to date, it sounds like you may already be the registered owner. If not, you can find out more about the process here: http://www.gov.uk/registering-land-or-property-with-land-registry/when-you-must-register

If the plot is registered under the same deed as your current dwelling you may want to look into dividing the land title. It is worth clarifying the financial and legal implications of this first, so consider consulting a solicitor specialising in property law.
