SimplyRed Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 The program was definitely worth a watch (or at least the part on the Town Green Legislation) BBC iPlayer here I thought it highlighted how the Town Green legislation was possibly being used by NIMBY's to thwart developers at every turn and certainly made out some of the NIMBY's to be rather shallow and devious. A few things emerged for me that were rather sobering The fact that the cost of dealing with Town Green applications by a City Council is felt by EVERY Council Tax payer, not just the NIMBY's The fact that if a Town Green application is successful, the Landowner effectively loses control of THEIR LAND (becomes worthless to sell)The fact that if a Town Green application is successful, the Landowner is still legally liable for any negligence in its upkeep or accidents which may occur on the land Throughout the piece, there was an interview with a Barrister who made some very honest comments and obviously thought the Law was an Ass when it came the Town Green legislation. He openly admitted that this legislation was great for Barristers but less so for the Community and Councils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snufflelufagus Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Well the public figure in charge of the protest is none other than a Londener and Chelsea fan. What its all got to do with him is another thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh1t_ref_again Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Interesting Inside out program - having watched I could agree with most of the town green applications that were clearly small areas of green, that are well kept and would be used by locals - in contrast our ashton vale site is nothing like those. It would seem from SL comments that it is 2 faceless individuals who will not even come out in to the open but applied for the JR - really sums up all that is wrong with this country - only in UK could this happen!!
