Abstract

Relates to SI 2014/257. The right under section 15(1) of the Commons Act 2006 to register land as a town or village green is restricted where development of land is proposed or permitted under the planning system, including where land is allocated for development in a draft local or neighbourhood development plan. The Order sets out a time limit, in respect of draft plans, after which the right to apply for town or village green registration will resume. The Order also extends the protection from town or village green registration to development proposed or permitted by Local Development Orders, Neighbourhood Development Orders and orders under the Transport and Works Act 1992.
