I don't really know what it means in practice, but on the Ealing map you linked to, the access alley (bit fancy calling it a 'road' :) ) is marked, in pink, as 'Adopted: Housing'. This mostly applies to estate roads, I think, but it may be a similar sort of deal here in that the local authority may also do maintenance on that bit. I think that may not change the land ownership, whoever's it is, but you could ask someone in Ealing's Highways department about it. This may all be bollocks but may be worth investigating briefly.
