Commons and village greens.
Public Rights of Way and Access to Land
Angela Sydenham, Consultant, Birketts, Solicitors
Reviews of the previous edition
‘excellent …. anybody with a serious interest in the subject requires a copy of this book …there could be no better guide’ New Law Journal
‘what a joy it is to find a legal volume at such a reasonable price, especially one which deals with its subject in such a user-friendly way’ Agricultural Law Association
The exercise of public rights of way has long been a source of conflict and confrontation between users, landowners and local authorities.
Public Rights of Way and Access to Land, written by Angela Sydenham, one of the country’s leading authorities on the subject, succeeds in clarifying the arcane and often archaic law. By turn she explains the creation and loss of public rights of way and access to land, how their existence can be ascertained, and the nature of the obligations to maintain and manage them.
The third edition of this popular work has been comprehensively updated to reflect the coming into force of various provisions of the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000, and incorporates other legislative developments that have impinged on rights of way and public access including the Commons Act 2006 and the Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act 2006. A number of significant cases are discussed including those dealing with rights arising from long use such as Bakewell Management v Brandwood which established that where an express grant of a private right of way can be made a prescriptive right can arise, and Oxfordshire County Council v Oxford City Council and Robinson which deals with village greens.
This edition sets out the Countryside and Public Rights of Way Act 2000 in full with annotations to indicate when the various sections commenced and any regulations made under those sections, together with all relevant provisions from the Highways Act 1980, the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 and the Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act 2006, as well as other relevant planning notes and guidance.

Law of Commons and of Town and Village Greens
Navjit Ubhi, Barrister
Barry Denyer-Green, Barrister, Falcon Chambers
Common land and town and village greens have value for a number of reasons – ecological, historical, agricultural, sporting or recreational. The Law of Commons and of Town and Village Greens offers a practical explanation of the law, dealing with issues such as the classification of common land and rights of common and the registration of common land and rights of common.
This new edition takes account of the Commons Act 2006, which makes significant changes to the regulation and protection of common land.
The Act will:Improve the current registration system to provide conclusive evidence of the status of common land
Prevent severance of registered right from the land to which it is attached
Enable the establishment of statutory commons councils with powers to regulate grazing and other agricultural activities
Reinforce existing protections against unauthorised works and development
Clarify the registration of town and village greens in the light of recent court decisions This book is an invaluable reference for barristers and solicitors specialising in agricultural, planning, environmental or general property law. It will also be of interest to surveyors and local authorities.

Commons and Village Greens – The Modern Law
The Commons Act 2006, due to be in force later this year, will sweep aside the Commons Registration Act 1965 and introduce a completely new scheme for the registration, management and protection of common land in England and Wales. The Act will enable the establishment of commons councils and give greater protection to commons by repealing section 194 of the Law of Property Act 1925 and replacing it with a new statutory system of control. There are also new rules for the registration of town and village greens based on long user.
All practitioners advising on the acquisition, sale, development or management of rural land will need to know about these important changes. Commons and Village Greens – The Modern Law, written by one of the leading experts in the field, not only explains the new legislation and its implications in detail but also provides a comprehensive text on the law for all those involved in or affected by commons.
The book will also contain the full text of the Commons Act 2006.
