We regularly receive requests from members of the public, private organisations, charitable bodies and others to use land owned by us under licence for a variety of activities and events. Licences to use land for bonfires and firework displays will not be granted under any circumstances because of the risk and associated dangers to both the public and the land itself.
Typical requests considered include:
- Use of land for supervised sporting events, sports coaching
- Use of land for entertainment, fun days
- The temporary siting of builder's and contractor's compounds for cabins and materials
- The undertaking of exploratory work such as trial pits, boreholes or ground contamination testing
- Grazing of animals
- Traditional leases for industrial units, play area sites, parking bays etc.
Before granting permission to use land, you must supply all the information requested in the:
