Access Roads to New Developments when the Land is a Registered Common
Join us for the first instalment of our upcoming webinar series, taking place on the 17th of September.
In this session, Paul Wilmshurst will address 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 will demystify this area of law and explain:
- 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?
Paul Wilmshurst is an experienced barrister who specialises, amongst other areas of property, in the law of commons and village greens. He has appeared in over 30 public inquiries in this area and a number of important court cases.
A recording of this webinar will be available in due course.
This webinar will be the first of our 2024-2025 webinar series, a full program of dates and topics will be available soon.
