[F1Provided that all applications for enlargement under section eleven of the Act of 1886 shall be made to the Board[F2 (or, in the case of applications mentioned in subsection (1A), the Crofting Commission) ], and the provisions of the sectio n of this Act relating to the constitution of new holdings shall, with the necessary modifications, apply as fully for the purpose of applications for enlargement as for the purpose of the constitution of new holdings, and accordingly the Board[F3 (or, as the case may be, the Crofting Commission) ] shall be substituted for the Land Court in sections twelve (except the last paragraph of the said section twelve), thirteen, fourteen, fifteen and twenty-one of the Act of 1886 (except the last two paragraphs of the said section twenty-one), and the said section twenty-one shall be further amended by the omission therefrom of the words “or otherwise interested in” and of the words “including heritable creditors holding securities over the same.”]

(2) . . . F5 land shall not be deemed available land for the enlargement of a holding otherwise than by agreement, unless it is land in respect of which a person would be admissible to registration otherwise than by agreement as a new holder under this Act, and, if arable land, unless it lies contiguous or near to land already in the occupancy of the landholder making the application; and provided further that a holding shall not be enlarged so that the rent or [F6area in hectares] thereof shall exceed the rent or [F6area in hectares] competent for a new holding under this Act.
