The HL has given further (even more confused!) guidance on the registration of town and village greens under Commons Registration Act 1965. Indeed the HL could not even agree on the scope of what qualifies as a ‘village green’
(in this case the land was scrub, with only 25% being accessible to the local inhabitants), and nor could they come to a clear view of the impact of Human Rights Act 1998. As such it is a judgment that will merely add to the uncertainty about such registrations and (and will be of little help to practitioners trying to advise in such cases). See Oxfordshire County Council v Oxford City Council [2006] UKHL 25.
