Registration of replacement land4
1
Where a commons registration authority receives a deregistration and exchange order, the following provisions of this regulation apply subject to any provisions in the order specifying the manner in which the replacement land is to be registered.
2
The registration authority may register the replacement land—
a
by amending the register unit in its register of common land or register of town or village greens which contains the registration of the release land; or
b
by inserting a new register unit in respect of the replacement land.
3
If the registration authority registers the replacement land by amending the register unit which contains the registration of the release land, it must do so in accordance with Standard Entry 12.
4
If the registration authority registers the replacement land by inserting a new register unit in respect of it, paragraphs (5) to (9) apply.
5
The registration authority must follow as closely as possible Model Entry 4 with such variations and adaptations as the circumstances may require, and with—
a
the substitution, for the sentence beginning “Registered pursuant to application”, of the words “Registered pursuant to an order under section 17 of the Commons Act 2006.”; and—
b
the omission of the words “(Registration provisional.)”.
6
Paragraphs (2) to (6) of General Regulation 10 apply to the registration.
7
Paragraphs (4) to (8) of regulation 9 of the Commons Registration (Objections and Maps) Regulations 19686 (changes as to provisional register maps) apply, subject to the following modifications—
a
references to a “new map” are to be interpreted as meaning any map taken into use for the purpose of this regulation;
b
instead of the scale specified in paragraph (4), every new map must be prepared on an Ordnance Map of a scale of not less than 1:2,500 if available, and in any case not less than 1:10,000; and
c
paragraph (7) applies as if the word “provisional” were omitted.
8
Each new map taken into use must be stamped by, and signed on behalf of, the registration authority, and shall then form part of the register.
9
The requirement in paragraph (8) for a registration authority to stamp a new map is a requirement to cause an impression of its official stamp as described in General Regulation 3 to be affixed to it, which must bear the date when it was affixed.
