Land Registry will not just register a land "just like that"(what if the next door neighbour tried to do same as well,getting an L shaped garden). Your case is stronger if you can show you have used the land for a certain number of years. All info is also on Land registry website.

Good evening. A while ago I asked for advice here,regarding my mother's house who had an issue with the new neighbour's. They wanted my mother to remove the roof overhang, which had been in place for over 16 years. We have now received a solicitor's letter asking us to remove it and keep it...
