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
