Court of Appeal find for Winchester College and Humphrey Feeds Ltd in rights of way test case |
|
|
|
Tuesday, 29 April 2008 |
|
Winchester College and Humphrey Feeds Ltd, represented by Knights, have won an appeal at the Court of Appeal in which they have sought to protect Twyford Down from damage by off-roaders.
Winchester College owns the land at Twyford Down where Hockley Golf Club is based. Humphrey Feeds Ltd is a local animal feed producer, which owns neighbouring farm land. Both were concerned that Hampshire County Council’s Order to recognise vehicular rights on a byway over the Down would lead to significant local environmental damage.
