Landowner Challenges The Council Over Town Green Status












The landowner Houshang Jafari is attempting to challenge the decision making process of Bristol City Council in their declaration of Grove Wood as a Town & Village Green. This potentially elevates the whole issue to the High Court but before that an initial permission stage is required to filter out any illegitimate claims. Accordingly, a short oral hearing is taking place on Tuesday 13th November 2012 at the Bristol Civil Justice Centre, 2 Redcliffe Street, Bristol, BS1 6GB. The landowner has very little grounds as the decision was facilitated by an independent inspector. The public are welcome to attend, especially those wanting to witness the antics of this self-styled 'lord' and his associates.
