EXPLANATORY NOTE

Under sections 5 and 19 of the Commons Registration Act 1965, if objection is made to a provisional registration of any land as common land or as a town or village green, or of rights of common over or a claim to ownership of such land, or if one such registration conflicts with another, the matter must be referred to a Commons Commissioner.

The ultimate disposal of such registrations will be notified to registration authorities following decisions by Commons Commissioners under section 6 of the Act, and the result of any appeal from such decisions. These regulations provide for the indication of the disposal of these registrations in the registers maintained under the Act. They also provide for consequential matters and for certain minor entries in the registers.
