“(j) Access orders under the Access to Neighbouring Land Act 1992 which, notwithstanding section 59 of this Act, it may be deemed expedient to protect by notice instead of by caution.”

“(7) Subsection (1) above shall also not require the production of the land certificate or of any charge certificate when a person applies for the registration of a notice in respect of an access order under the Access to Neighbouring Land Act 1992.”

(4) In any case where—

(a) an access order is discharged under section 6(1)(a) below, and

(b) the order has been protected by an entry registered under the [1972 c. 61.] Land Charges Act 1972 or by a notice or caution under the [1925 c. 21.] Land Registration Act 1925,

the court may by order direct that the entry, notice or caution shall be cancelled.

(5) The rights conferred on a person by or under an access order are not capable of constituting an overriding interest within the meaning of the [1925 c. 21.] Land Registration Act 1925, notwithstanding that he or any other person is in actual occupation of the whole or any part of the servient land in question.

(6) An application for an access order shall be regarded as a pending land action for the purposes of the [1972 c. 61.] Land Charges Act 1972 and the [1925 c. 21.] Land Registration Act 1925.
