Minutes:
The Committee considered a report from the Director of Culture, Communities and Business Services (item 7 in the minute book)
The relevant case law was summarised and it was confirmed that most of the use falls within the relevant period for the purposes of Section 15(2), that is 1995 – 2015. The vast majority of users claim to have seen other people using the Land while visiting the Land. None of the 32 users stated that they sought permission to use the Land, nor where they challenged or physical prevented from doing so.
The Committee received a deputation from Andrew Palmer, Winchester City Council’s New Home’s delivery team who supported the recommendation to reject the application due to the land being held for affordable housing.
RESOLVED
The application to register as a town or village green the land,
shown edged blue on the plans appended to the report, was refused.
