Access Roads to New Developments when the Land is a Registered Common

In this webinar, Paul Wilmshurst addresses a common challenge faced by housing and industrial site developers; where an access road to a new development crosses land that is registered as a common.

Common land, a highly protected category that lies outside the planning system, often leads to delays or incorrect applications from developers due to a lack of understanding. With reference to previous cases, Paul Wilmshurst demystifies this area of law and explains:

• Seeking consent under s.38 Commons Act 2006: Is this the right application for you to make anyway?
• De-registration and exchange applications under s.16 Commons Act 2006.
• How can you give your application the best chance of success and avoid costly mistakes?
