A proposal to deregister part of the common land along the A505 Baldock Road and exchange it with land west of Pen Hills has been approved.
Since then, the heath has been 8500m² smaller than it should have been.
The application was to deregister a section of Therfield Health land (in green) and register the blue area as common land. Picture: HCC

The discovery happened when members of the action group opposing the previous land swap application did their research at Hertfordshire Archives.
While checking documents, Royston residents Karen Pearson and Don Shewan uncovered information about the compulsory purchase of a small section of the common for a new dual carriageway on the A505.
