Common land and village greens

We are a Commons Registration Authority - this means we:

• hold the registers of all common land and town and village greens in Rutland
• process applications to register new town or village greens
• process applications to amend the registers

To view the registers or maps for village greens and common land, contact our land charges to team: landcharges@rutland.gov.uk.

Landowner statements

Landowner statements are deposited to protect land against claims for public rights of way or village green rights.

We maintain a register of information about statements deposited under Section 31(6) of the Highway Act 1980 and Section 15A of the Commons Act 2006 - download the register. 

Corrective applications

You can make a corrective application to amend the registers to:

• correct a mistake made by us when making or amending an entry in the register
• remove buildings or land wrongly registered as common land or a town or village green
