To consider a report from the Director of Clture, Communities and Business Services regarding an application for a Village Green in Eastleigh Additional documents:
Minutes: Committee received a paper from the Director of Culture, Communities and Business Services (Item 6 in the Minute Book) regarding an application for registration of land as a town or village green in Monks Brook, Eastleigh.
The officer showed the Committee aerial photos of the land. The land lies within both Southampton City Council (SCC) and Hampshire County Council (HCC), and SCC had agreed to process the application to public inquiry stage on behalf of both authorities when it was first made in 2007. This did not happen and, following delays, HCC decided to process only the County Council part of the application. Due to complexities in the case, namely the evidence not fully addressing the legal test and also questions raised by the objector about the validity of Swaythling as a locality, a non-statutory Public Inquiry was proposed to provide sound legal advice for the Committee in making its determination of this application. Such a Public Inquiry also addresses the issue of transparency, since the County Council is both the landowner of Monks Brook, and the Commons Registration Authority for the county.
