Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations, which apply to England only, make certain minor amendments to the Access to the Countryside (Provisional and Conclusive Maps) (England) Regulations 2002 (S.I.2002/1710) (“the principal Regulations”) to correct minor defects and omissions in those Regulations, and, in particular—

(a) provide that where the functions of a body to which the Countryside Agency are required to send a reduced scale provisional or conclusive map relate to only part of the land covered by such a map, the Agency may send a reduced scale map relating to only that part to that body (regulation 2(b)); and

(b) require the Secretary of State to send a copy of a document containing any further information which she or an inspector has required to be supplied to her under regulation 24 of the principal Regulations to the persons referred to in that regulation as soon as practicable after she has received it (regulation 2(d)).

No Regulatory Impact Assessment has been prepared in respect of these Regulations.
