Mr Glover

Thank you for your recent Freedom of Information request as set out
below.  May I apologise for the delay in replying to you.

Dear Derbyshire County Council,

    

     Dear Sir or Madam,

    

     Please supply details of all unclaimed land in the United

     Kingdom, and confirm or disprove that any such land may be
claimed

     and lived upon in a peaceful manner in such a way as to meet
one's

     basic human needs under Common Law (i.e. so long as no direct
loss

     or harm is caused to another individual human being).

    

     Yours faithfully,

    

     Paul Glover

As regards the first part of your question, Derbyshire County Council is a
Commons Registration Authority as per the Commons Act 2006.  I've
attached details of Derbyshire's Common Land (including Village Greens). 
As regards enquiries / searches for a specific plot of land, we charge a
fee of £14 which is usually done through someone's solicitor using a form
"Con290" addressed to Mrs E Adams, Principal Admin Officer, Derbyshire
County Council, County Hall, Matlock, Derbyshire, DE4 3AG.

As regards the second part of your question concerning use of common land
that would be something you may wish to take independent legal advice
upon.

Once again I am sorry for the delay in replying to you.

Regards,

Steve
