RIGHTS OF ACCESS (added 1 March 2003)
We have received a copy of a document which has the grand title :
Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000: Section68
Non-Statutory Guidance Note on the vehicular access across common and other land (England) regulations 2002
Statutory Instrument 2002 No. 1711
It is not as daunting as it sounds and is written in plain English. It runs to 18 pages and includes 49 frequently asked questions on this subject. It is very informative but any one reading it will understand that it is a complex subject, and why the Parish Council cannot give advice on an individual case.
Enquiries on the content (but not case specific advice) should be addressed to:
The Common Land Branch, Zone 1/05 Temple Quay House, 2 The Square, Temple Quay, Bristol BS1 6EB. Tel. 0117 372 8520 or 6266.
E-mail: commons.villagegreen@defra.gsi.gov.uk
Our thanks to Derek Blades for this information
Note added 2 November 2005:
In The Sunday Telegraph of Oct. 23rd 2005 there was an article about a person who had been having problems establishing a right of access across land owned by The National Trust. He eventually got it after a protracted delay. Residents of the Minnis should note that the procedure, if there are no snags, will take at least 3 months.
The useful information is that The Land Registry has a Practice Guide 52 on this subject and can be viewed at www.landregistry.gov.uk

Legal requests relating to access across Stelling Minnis Common should be taken up with your own Solicitor and not made of the Parish Council, Minnis Managers or Charles Gooch of Savills.

Whilst every effort is made to ensure that this web site is virus free, no liability is accepted for any damage, howsoever caused, to any computer or information stored on it arising from use of or visiting this web site or any links from it to other sites.
Conceived in 2002, this web site is produced and maintained for Stelling Minnis Parish Council and is intended to be a valuable source of information on the Village, Parish Council and Clubs and Societies who have members in the village, which includes Bossingham. It is not a medium for advertising (other than as a “what’s on” item, although some local services will be listed), comments or opinions – the relevant media for that is the Village Magazine.
In
2021 the Parish Council elements were moved to a new site to allow
accessibility requirements to be met for public bodies. Go to the Stelling Minnis Parish Council web site - click here.
Additional pages will be created as necessary and linked in the
alphabetical index. Please feel free to submit any factual information
for new or existing pages together with any events for the “Whats-on” section,
