The Court hearing is set for 15th & 16th November .

Great news! We have been granted permission to take a full appeal by the Rt Hon. Lord Justice Singh, who considers our appeal has a 'real prospect of success' and 'raise important issues of principle, which [the Court of Appeal] should consider.' We will now go to a full 1-day hearing before 3 lord/Lady Justices in the Court of Appeal to determine whether the Court of Appeal will overturn the decision deregistering part of our village green.

Whilst this is a great step forward for our campaign, we now need significant further funds to cover the costs of our legal team, court costs, etc; in the longer run we may need as much as £30,000 to see this challenge through. We cannot do that without your help! Even small donations add up and help give us the assurance we need to take this challenge through to save the Village Green!

Woodcock Hill Village Green committee have been managing the Village Green since 2008 when VG status was gained following a Public Inquiry. That Campaign was started in 1996.

Taylor Wimpey applied in 2020 to deregister part of the VG Masefield/Vale/Byron Borehamwood and replace with inferior land in Elstree. The decision at a public inquiry held 2022 was to uphold the application. The Judicial review in February 2023 upheld that decision.

Our legal team sought permission to challenge. Please donate to help us reach our goal.
