There has been a decision made on the 17th November 2011 after a meeting of the Councils Licensing and Safety Committee, to reject the application for a Village Green at Chickenley – it was resolved that the application to register the land was rejected.
The Members decided to accept the recommendation of the Inspector in his report:
1. My overall conclusions are as follows:
(a) there has been insufficient use of the Main Area in amount and manner to justify its registration (116)
(b) the Mown Area has not been used by a significant number of the inhabitants of the neighbourhood (117)
(c) there has in any event been an insufficient spread of users over the neighbourhood to establish the case for registration on a limb (ii) basis (133) and an insufficient spread of users over the locality to establish the case for registration on a limb (i) basis (134).
2. I recommend to the Registration Authority that it reject the application.
