Chambers has for many years provided expert advice and assistance on Town and Village Green applications to landowners, developers and Registration Authorities and junior members in particular also act for applicants.
Often applications are made in respect of public or ex publicly owned land and here Chambers' across the board local government experience pays dividends.
We are ideally placed to offer expert advice and representation, with its crossover between different areas of local government law and practical understanding of local environmental issues.
Recent cases in the higher courts have included R (Leeds Group) v. Leeds City Council, where the report of Alun Alesbury acting on behalf of Leeds City council as 'inspector' was upheld by the Court of Appeal who held that more than one 'neighbourhood' could support registration.
