Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Gardiner of Kimble on 31 January (HL13131), which village greens were approved (1) in full, and (2) in part; and whether the figures provided include town greens.
This question was answered on 7th February 2019
Three village green applications have been approved in full as of 31 January:
- Woburn in Cornwall (2013)
- Benslow Field in Hitchin, Hertfordshire (2013)
- Eastern Fields in Devon (2016)
One village green application has been approved in part:
Moorside Fields, Lancashire (2015).
We do not record town green applications separately from village green applications because there is no substantive distinction in law between the two (section 15 Commons Act 2006).
