Carry out works
You need the consent of the Planning Inspectorate to carry out any restricted works on land registered as common land.
Restricted works are any that prevent or make it difficult to get access to or over the land. They include fencing, buildings, structures, ditches, trenches, embankments and other works, where the effect of those works is to prevent or impede access. New solid surfaces, such as for a new car park or access road, are always restricted works which require consent.
