![]() He advises and appears in footpath cases these raise many of the same issues as village greens and are also decided within the framework of a complicated statutory code overlaid upon complicated common law provisions. He appeared for the Open Spaces Society as intervener in the litigation over the skateboard park beneath the Queen Elizabeth Hall. There have been seven cases concerning town and village greens in the House of Lords/Supreme Court and he has appeared in five of them. Recently a lot of his practice has concerned town and village greens. He appeared for Network Rail on its proposals to enhance the Thameslink service. He appeared for Eurotunnel in the promotion of the Channel Tunnel and then for the Government in the promotion of the High Speed Rail Link. So in planning he appeared in a broad range of cases ranging from a statue of St Walter Raleigh to a superstore. Philip Petchey has always sought to maintain a broad practice, spanning many areas of Chambers experise.

In In re St Stephen Walbrook the history of the installation of a painting by Benjamin West in the church in the eighteenth century had to be investigated as well as the circumstances of it being moved in the nineteenth century and removed in the twentieth. Thus in R (Newhaven Port and Properties) v East Sussex County Council it was necessary to investigate the law relating to access to the seashore going back to Bracton as well as the power of a corporation in Scotland to grant a servitude, In Evans v Wimbledon and Putney Conservators he had to consider not only the powers of the Conservators under an obscure act of 1871 but also how those powers had been exercised in providing access to a hospital built on an island in the common. Philip Petchey enjoys unravelling what is complicated, obscure or dense (or all three) and his practice affords him the opportunity of doing so.
