EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Order, which comes into force on 1 April 2009, designates particular offices of the land registry as the proper office for the receipt of specified descriptions of application under the Land Registration Act 2002. It replaces the Land Registration (Proper Office) Order 2007 and the Land Registration (Proper Office) (Amendment) Order 2008.
As a consequence of this Order, on and after 1 April 2009, the Land Registry’s Lancashire and Lytham Offices will be replaced by one proper office: Land Registry, Fylde Office. This will be the proper office for the administrative areas previously dealt with by the Lancashire and Lytham Offices. The Fylde Office will initially be administered from the current sites of the Lancashire and Lytham Offices.
The Order also reflects changes made under the Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Act 2007 (c. 28). The changes come into force on 1 April 2009. They include the abolition of the counties of Cheshire and Bedfordshire as local government areas and their replacement, in the case of the county of Cheshire, by Cheshire East and by Cheshire West and Chester and, in the case of the county of Bedfordshire, by Bedford and by Central Bedfordshire. The proper offices for these areas remain unchanged.
An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no significant impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
