Villagers Launch Campaign for Access Rights to Private Woodland
Villagers may soon be engaged in a battle with the owner of a private woodland to ensure continued access for walking.
Residents have formed the group Woodland Watchers to campaign for continued access to Pentney Woods.
The woodland's owner, Colin Pennington, has been granted permission to build eco-lodges, sparking fears of closure.
- Government officials overturned West Norfolk Council's refusal of the plans.
- A High Court judge reversed a council decision to grant the woodland "asset of community value" status.
The woods are home to rare wildlife.
Villagers refuse to abandon their ambitions, citing the woodland's importance for local wildlife.
