EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend section 10(2) of the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000. Section 10(2) prescribes the time limits by when Natural England (as the appropriate countryside body in relation to England) is required to review the conclusive maps prepared under the Act showing all registered common land and all open country in England (excluding inner London). (The same provision applies to the Countryside Council for Wales in respect of the conclusive maps for all such land in Wales.)

Section 10(2)(a) as originally enacted required the first such review of any such conclusive map to be undertaken not more than 10 years after its issue. In relation to England only, that period is now extended by these Regulations to not more than 15 years (regulation 2(2)).

Section 10(2)(b) as originally enacted required any subsequent such review to be undertaken not more than 10 years after the previous review. Again in relation to England only, that period is now extended by these Regulations to not more than 20 years after any previous review (regulation 2(3)).

An impact assessment has not been produced in respect of these Regulations, as no effect on the costs of business, the voluntary sector or the public sector is foreseen.

(1)

2000 c. 37. Section 45(1) contains a definition of “regulations” for the purposes of Part 1 of the Act.
