VIDEO | Impact of Rights of Way Claims and Town/Village Greens on proposed developments


Hear from Rob Phillips, Head of Property Litigation and Rebecca Rees, Property Litigation and Housing Management at Hugh James, who discuss Town and Village Greens in this overview video

It is essential that developers understand their obligations regarding town and village greens and public rights of way as both can significantly impact their ability to develop land as they may have envisaged. Rob Phillips, Partner and Head of Property Litigation, is joined by Rebecca Rees, Senior Associate in Property Litigation and Housing Management to discuss the relevance of this kind of application by local opposition groups, in this video. This includes where these rights are already reflected in a local authority’s register giving the public certain rights to use them and which can constitute an offence for a developer to disrupt. During the video, our team will help you understand the processes required to address these rights and what can be done to minimise or mitigate their impact on a proposed development.
