| Decision notes | [2019] UKFTT 720 (PC) Application for first registration of a parcel of land which had, since 1962, formed part of the garden of one of a pair of cottages and on which a pond had stood. Objection that part of the parcel had been registered as a village green under the Commons Registration Act 1965. HELD that the village green did not include any part of the land claimed and that the Applicant had established his title by adverse possession. The Applicant’s acts of keeping fish in the pond, maintaining the hedge around the pond, planting symbolic trees around the pond to commemorate family births and ultimately filling-in the pond in 1996 sufficiently evidenced his factual possession. |
