HCA boundary signs in Milton Keynes

We have recently been placing signs on the boundaries of land owned by the HCA in Milton Keynes to remind people that there is no public right of access to this land. In the current market it may be some time before development takes place and it is important to remember that the land is privately owned even though roads and footpaths may pass through it. As a land owner we are obliged to ensure that anyone who ventures onto our land is aware that it is private land; signs may also be used to advise of any hazards on a site.

When development proposals come forward for our land, these will be considered as part of Milton Keynes Council's planning process, with full public consultation and debate.
