(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations apply in relation to England only and amend the Access to the Countryside (Exclusions and Restrictions) (England) Regulations 2003 (S.I. 2003/2713) (“the principal Regulations”). The principal Regulations make provisions relating to the exclusion or restriction of the public right of access to certain types of land under Part I of the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 (c. 37) (“the Act”).
These Regulations provide that where an appeal has been made under section 30 of the Act against a decision of a relevant authority not to act in accordance with an application for a direction to exclude or restrict access for the purpose of fire prevention under section 25(1)(a) of that Act and the hearing of the appeal has been determined by the Secretary of State, she must ensure that a copy of the amended notice of appeal with her decision endorsed on it is made available for inspection on the Planning Inspectorate Executive Agency’s website for three months. Other minor amendments are also made to the principal Regulations.
A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no impact on the costs of business.
