Commons Act 2006

Section 48 Inclosure

220.Section 48 repeals various powers to inclose land. There are sufficient modern powers, including sections 16 and 17, to enable the inclosure of land to render these old provisions unnecessary. The provisions repealed in subsection (2) were formerly generally exercisable only with the consent of the Secretary of State or National Assembly for Wales under section 22 of, and Schedule 1 to, the Commons Act 1899 (and consequential amendment is made to Schedule 1 of that Act by Part 3 of Schedule 6).
