EXPLANATORY NOTE

By section 7 of the Commons Registration Act 1965, if no objection is made to a provisional registration of any land as common land or as a town or village green, or of rights of common over or a claim to ownership of such land, or if all objections (including conflicting registrations taking effect as objections) are withdrawn, the registration becomes final at the end of the period during which objections could have been made, or upon the withdrawal of the only or the last surviving objection, whichever is the later. These Regulations prescribe the manner in which a registration authority is to indicate in the register the fact that an undisputed registration has become final.
