(b) serving notice of the transitional period on—

(i) every other local authority in its area;

(ii) any body appearing to it to be representative of persons entitled to exercise rights of common on any registered land in its area; and

(iii) such other persons as the 2014 registration authority thinks fit.

(2) A notice pursuant to paragraph (1) must contain the following details—

(i) that a fee will be payable for any application made after the end of that period;

(ii) that a qualifying event may not be registered pursuant to an application made after the end of that period, if it would be unfair to do so by reason of any reliance placed on the registers since the end of that period; and
