(This note is not part of the Rules)
These Rules amend the Local Land Charges Rules 1977 (SI 1977/985) by removing from Schedule 3 (fees) the whole of the entry for item 5 (personal search in the whole or in part of the register in respect of one parcel of land or, where the search extends to more than one parcel, those parcels). The fee is incompatible with the Environmental Information Regulations 2004(3) which implement Council Directive 2003/4/EC(4) on public access to environmental information.
1975, c.76. Section 14 was amended by section 158 of the Local Government and Housing Act 1989 (c.42) and by section 15(1) of, and paragraphs 82 and 85(1) of Part 1 of Schedule 4 to, the Constitutional Reform Act 2005 (c.4).
S.I. 1977/985. Schedule 3 was substituted in its entirety by SI 2003/2502, and item 5 of Schedule 3 was amended by SI 2009/2494.
