Rights of commons
Series: Estates Gazette ; (0133) 18 August 2001, 84(1)Publication details: 2001Subject(s): Summary: Town or village greens (TVG) should have been registered under the Commons Registration Act 1965 and any land not registered by 31 July 1970 was not considered to be TVG. However, the Act does allow applications for land to be registered that has since become a TVG. But the CA's decision in the case "R (on the application of Beresford) v Sunderland CC", has ruled that an implied permission to use land will defeat a claim for registration as a TVG. The landowner can also secure land against registration by preventing access for more than two years.| Item type | Current library | Call number | Copy number | Status | Barcode | |
