Report by the Assistant Director, Operations – Economy, Transport and Environment

5.1       The Panel considered a report by the Assistant Director, Operations- Economy, Transport and Environment.  Councillor Pragnell, was in attendance as Local Member and supported the application.

Reasons for the Decision

5.2       After careful consideration of all the evidence submitted to the Registration Authority, the Panel found that on the balance of probabilities there is sufficient evidence to show that a significant number of the local residents of the Conquest Ward have indulged in lawful sports and past times, as of right, for a period of twenty years and they currently continue to do so.  Section 15(2) of the Commons Act has therefore been satisfied. 

5.3       RESOLVED that the application to register land at the junction of Ghyllside Avenue and Old Roar Road Hastings as a town or village Green be accepted and the register of town and village greens held at East Sussex County Council be amended accordingly.
