Vehicular access over common land is always a sticky point. To quote Wikipedia, common land is "land owned collectively or by one person, but over which other people have certain traditional rights, such as to allow their livestock to graze upon it, to collect firewood, or to cut turf for fuel." Doesn't mean vehicular access necessarily, as the residents of Newtown Common know all too well. (Incidentally the Mr Farrow of Newtown Common fame is not to my knowledge a relative).
