Report RES 13150

Members considered an application to register land comprising The Italian Garden and Glades Terrace, Kentish Way, Bromley as a Town Green.  A Public Inquiry to consider the application and to hear objections, was held in May 2013 by Mr Paul Wilmshurst, a barrister with expertise in this area.  In July 2013, the Council received Mr Wilmshurst’s report containing his summary recommendations. 

The Chairman reported that the Council had fulfilled its statutory obligations in holding a Public Inquiry.  He agreed with the findings in Mr Wilmshurst's report and moved that the report be accepted and the application be declined.  Councillor Auld seconded the motion.

Following a vote of 13-2, Members RESOLVED that:-

1)  The report prepared by Mr Paul Wilmshurst on the application to register the land comprising The Italian Garden and Glades Terrace, Kentish Way, Bromley as a Town or Village Green be accepted; and

2)  The application to register the land in whole or in part be declined for the reasons set out in Mr Paul Wilmshurst’s report dated 31 July 2013.
