superimposed on the Land Registry plans

I'm pretty sure that's the general idea of what it means; of course, there are niceties of meaning between 'cadastre' and 'Land Registry', but for the purposes of this document, it may not be necessary to explain in greater detail. Do also note that usage of both 'cadastre' and 'Land Registry' may depend on the source country (Canada?) and the destination readership.

In fact, the word I was originally searching for was 'overlaid', which I think is better still in this instance, and gets a fair number of relevant Google hits.

I think Land Registry is probably best for the UK then — despite the nicety of meaning, I think in your context it will be far more understandable to anyone familiar with the UK system. The idea, after all, is that the topographic detail is overlaid on a map showing land divisions, ultimately ownership, etc.

You could replace 'Land Registry' with 'cadastral' (even for UK usage), but to be honest, I don't think most non-expert readers would understand this more technical term nearly so easily.

And of course 'plan' or 'map' — personally, I always refer to these things as 'plans', but both usages are common enough.

Hi Tony, Thanks for your input. I'm actually translating this for a UK client.

Thank you, Chakib.
neutral Tony M : The very tiny number of results on Google, many of them from foreign sources, suggests this may not be the most widespread term in use. / Yes, but only certain countries use the term 'cadastral'. Still, even so, it is pretty rare...

Foreign? Australia, for one, use the term in this precise context.
