The original offer to purchase this land, subject to contract, was made to the person named on 5 April 2005. The vendor then decided to sell turbary rights rather than the freehold title and a revised offer was made on this basis on 5 July 2005. However, a contract for sale on this basis has yet to be submitted to the Office of the Chief State Solicitor by the solicitor acting for the person named.
