Fighting back against the Alley Land Grabs!
“These 2 associated requests have been
prompted by becoming aware of some stopping up, and gatings, that have taken
place, some perhaps of long vintage, and on what basis is not clear. Council
policies are vague, and details not easily found on their web sites or more
generally. proposals do not seem to be widely publicised, and some policy
documents I've seen suggest that developers and building owners may have been
encouraged to seek blocking up of what are ancient rights of ways, allies,
courts and passages in Central London.
The absence of a definitive map under the rights of way statutes in Central London hampers efforts to establish these rights, and it may not always be clear if a path, alleyway, etc., is adopted highway. “
