(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Commons Registration (England) Regulations 2008 (S.I. 2008/1961) ("the principal Regulations").
The Regulations extend - in each case by one year - the length of the transitional application period (which is now to last until 30th September 2010) and the transitional period (which is now to last until 30th September 2011) (regulation 2(g)), and in consequence also extend (to 30th September 2010) two other specified periods that coincided with the transitional application period (regulation 2(c) and (h)). (The transitional period is defined by paragraph 2(1) of Schedule 3 to the Commons Act 2006 (c. 26) as the period during which registration authorities can, for the purposes of that Schedule and regulations made under paragraphs 2 and 4 of that Schedule, amend their registers of common land and town or village greens in consequence of certain qualifying events which were not registered under the Commons Registration Act 1965 (c. 64). The transitional application period is the period in which applications can be made to a registration authority for the purpose of paragraph 2 (transitional period for updating registers) of Schedule 3 to the Commons Act 2006 without payment of a fee: see regulation 39(2) of the principal Regulations.)
The Regulations specify the model entries relevant to registrations made under section 19 of the Commons Act 2006 (regulation 2(a)).
The Regulations permit a registration authority to allow an applicant longer than the period of 21 days within which to respond to representations made about his or her application (regulation 2(e)).
The Regulations also deal with minor errors and inconsistencies in the principal Regulations.
An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no impact on the costs of business or the voluntary sector, but a full impact assessment of the pilot implementation of Part 1 of the Commons Act 2006 is available with the principal Regulations at www.opsi.gov.uk.
