Study of Registered Town and Village Greens Applications
In March 2009 the CCRI secured a four month contract from Defra to examine a sample of the sites which have been registered as town or village greens since January 2004, as well as a sample of those that have been unsuccessful in applying to be registered. The project will examine the characteristics of the site and what it has been used for in the past while at the same time looking at the status of the site in local development plans and planning applications. The aim is to ascertain the characteristics of newly registered Town and Village Greens in the twenty first century. The project is led by Chris Short with contributions from Professor Steve Owen, Dr Carol Kambites and Dr Owain Jones and should be concluded by July 2009.
