The Commons (Deregistration and Exchange Orders) (Interim Arrangements) (Wales) Regulations 2012

Registration of rights of common over replacement land

5.—(1) Where pursuant to a deregistration and exchange order, a commons registration authority registers replacement land by inserting a new register unit in respect of it, the following provisions of this regulation apply, subject to any provisions in the order specifying the manner in which rights of common are to be registered as exercisable over the replacement land.

(2) If immediately before the deregistration of the release land, rights of common are registered as exercisable over the release land and no other land, the registration authority must register those rights as being exercisable over the replacement land, by following as closely as possible Model Entry 7 with such variations and adaptations as the circumstances may require, and with the omission from column 4 of the words from “except” to the end.

(3) If immediately before the deregistration of the release land, rights of common are exercisable over an area of land which comprises the release land (Area A) and other land (Area B), the registration authority must register those rights as being exercisable over the replacement land in addition to remaining exercisable over Area B, in accordance with Model Entries 33 (relating to Area B) and 34 (relating to the replacement land) with such variations and adaptations as the circumstances may require.
