(This note is not part of the Order)
The principal purpose of this Order is to bring section 15 of the Commons Act 2006, which makes new provision about the registration of land as a town or village green, into force in relation to England on 6th April 2007.
It also brings into force in relation to England—
(a)on 20th February 2007, section 52 (partially) and paragraphs 4 and 6(a) of Schedule 5; and
(b)on 6th April 2007, sections 4, 5 and 24, and Schedule 6 (partially).
Further information on the effect of certain of these provisions may be found in the Explanatory Notes to the 2006 Act.
The Order also contains transitional and saving provisions to—
(a)require that a green registered under section 15 is, until section 1 of the 2006 Act is brought into force in relation to the relevant area, entered in the registers maintained under the Commons Registration Act 1965;
(b)ensure that the existing provisions for registration of new greens and common land under section 13(b) of the 1965 Act remain effective in certain cases (such as on an exchange of land consequential on a compulsory purchase order);
(c)preserve any application to register a green made under the 1965 Act before 6th April 2007, so that such applications must be determined under that Act.
