WHILST I will admit to not knowing the area, I note from your newspaper that the owner of 30 acres of land adjacent to Grovelands Way, Warminster, has erected large Private signs.
They are obviously within their rights to do so but their erection commences the statutory period should anyone be thinking of applying for any of the land to be classed as ‘village green’.
Another triggering event is if land is allocated in a development plan by Wiltshire Council. So can I urge anyone thinking of applying for Village Green status for any areas of land, such as, say, the Hilperton Gap, to get on with it without further delay?
