26 February 2008: VILLAGE GREEN INQUIRY RESUMES

The inquiry into the designation of the Nant Fawr meadows as a Village Green under the Commons Registration Act 1965, which ended in disarray last July, resumed at the end of February 2008.  Much of the argument centred around the ownership of the land and the particular planning legislation under which it had been purchased and for what reason.  Morag Ellis QC and Mr. Andrew Hill presented an excellent and convincing case for the meadows to be registered as a village green.  We are not sure when the planning inspector will issue his judgment, but will post the outcome on this website as soon as it is known.
