EXPLANATORY NOTE
Part II of the Military Lands Act 1892 (c.43) provides for the making of byelaws for regulating the use of land held for military purposes and securing the safety of the public. These byelaws so regulate the land at Woodbury Common.
The land subject to these byelaws, together the Protected Area and the Controlled Area, comprise land which the Secretary of State for Defence leases from the Clinton Devon Estate.
A copy of these byelaws and a plan showing the Protected Area and Controlled Area to which these byelaws apply may be inspected on the Ministry of Defence website http://www.mod.uk/DefenceInternet/MicroSite/De/WhatWeDo/Byelaws Copies have also been deposited with the Exmouth library, 40 Exeter Road, Exmouth, Devon EX8 1PS, the County Records Office for the area and can be inspected on signboards erected locally. Copies may be obtained from the Librarian, Defence Estates, Kingston Road, Sutton Coldfield B75 7RL.
Section 17(2) of the Military Lands Act 1892 provides that any person who commits an offence against any byelaw made under that Act is liable on conviction before a court of summary jurisdiction to a fine not exceeding level 2 on the standard scale. At the time of printing the maximum fine payable on level 2 is FIVE HUNDRED POUNDS (£500).
Any person seeking a permission in accordance with byelaw 8(b) should apply in writing to the Byelaws Appointed Person, SO1 Training, Commando Training Centre Royal Marines, Lympstone, Exmouth, Devon EX8 5AR.
