Land subject to certain statutory development orders or identified for potential development in draft local plan policies would be protected from applications for registration as a town or village green under proposals unveiled in a joint consultation by the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) and the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) that closes on 19 August<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Growth and Infrastructure Act 2013 introduced provisions which end the right to make a town or village green (TVG) application in respect of land which is subject to a planning application or subject to an application for a Development Consent Order and in respect of land identified in local and neighbourhood plans, including draft plans.<\/p>\n

The administration now proposes to extend the regime to cover land subject to a Local Development Order (LDO); a Neighbourhood Development Order (NDO) or a Transport and Works Act Order (TWAO).<\/p>\n

These proposals are now the subject of a joint consultation exercise by the Department for Communities and Local Government and the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.<\/p>\n

The departments said that \u201cthe saving for commons registration authorities, local planning authorities, landowners and developers could be significant – including the avoidance of costly delays to development\u201d.<\/p>\n

The consultation sets out details of proposed trigger events for when the right to make a TVG application ceases and terminating events for when the right becomes exercisable again.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in a separate but related development, the charity The Open Spaces Society has urged greater protection for common land in England and Wales.<\/p>\n

The charity has called on the Government and the devolved administration to implement part 1 of the Commons Act 2006, to enable the common-land registers to be updated throughout both England and Wales.<\/p>\n

It has also argued that local authorities should have a duty to take action against unlawful works on commons, as they do for obstructions on public paths.<\/p>\n

The society also wants a 40-mph speed limit on all unfenced roads across commons to protect livestock and the landscape.<\/p>\n
