Decision details

It was reported that an application from Peter Joseph Rogerson and Elizabeth Susan Rogerson for a Declaration of Entitlement to record the rights to graze 35 sheep on Common Land Register Unit CL 12.

Details of the application and supporting evidence received from the Applicant, together with a summary of the law relating to applications in respect of common land were presented both as part of the report and at the meeting

The Committee was informed that the application had previously been considered at the Commons and Town Greens Sub-Committee meeting held on 1st July 2013. A decision was deferred by the Sub-Committee to allow further investigations to take place regarding land ownership and to establish the Applicants' correct entitlement, as it had come to light that not all of the land subject to the application was in the ownership of the Applicants. Further investigations had since taken place and a new land calculation had been completed.

Resolved: That the application be accepted in part and a Declaration of Entitlement be recorded in the Commons Register in accordance with The Commons Registration (England) Regulations 2014 and that Mr Peter Joseph Rogerson and Mrs Elizabeth Susan Rogerson are entitled to exercise part of the right attached to Out Lane Head Farm, Chipping, namely the right to graze 23 sheep on Unit CL 12.
