“SSDC Question decision to hold an Enquiry”

The latest news on the Town Green Application is that South Somerset Council have sought to question the advice by eminent Town Green expert Ross Crail, that there is a case for a Non Statutory Town Green enquiry to be held for SYRs application on “Yeovil Rec”.

Once again SSDC continue to claim that they control the land and all that takes place on it, they have also stated to Somerset County Council that an enquiry if held  will be a waste of public funds. As the main objector they will win at the enquiry because of their control over the land. They also maintain that their recent success in defeating the Henhayes application on the By Laws applies  to the Rec. But we have been advised that this is not so, in fact Ross Crail questions the validity of the Rec Bye Laws, which SSDC have failed to prove are valid.

SYR advisors have been assisting in the reply to SCC Legal Services Dept to counter the claims & fresh objections, which have now been forwarded to the Legal Services Department.

It is not now known when an enquiry will take place in 2011.

As ever. SYR will keep its members & supporters informed on the pages of the latest information
