Growth and Infrastructure Act 2013

Growth and Infrastructure Act 2013 allow landowners to 'deposit' a map and statement relating to their own land to end a period when it may be used for 'lawful sports and pastimes' as part of a town or village green.

Such a statement means that, after a period of grace of 1 year, it wouldn't be possible to apply to have the land registered as a town or village green.

Making a landowner statement

Visit GOV.UK to download a landowners application form and guidance for completing the form.

Send your completed form by email or post to the Design, Conservation and Sustainable Development Team.

The fee for the deposition is £210.

Renewing your landowner statement

The 'deposition' needs to be renewed in less than 20 years to prevent a further application for the land to be registered as a town or village green.
