EXPLANATORY NOTE (This note is not part of the Order)

This Order revokes and replaces the Controls on Dogs (Non-application to Designated Land) Order 2006 (S.I. 2006/779), and corrects a defect in that Order. This Order is being issued free of charge to all known recipients of that Order.

This Order designates descriptions of land to which Chapter 1 (controls on dogs) of Part 6 (dogs) of the Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Act 2005 (“the Act”) does not apply (article 3 and the Schedule), for the purposes specified in relation to each description and clarifies that such land includes land which is or forms part of a road.

Two descriptions of land are designated in this Order. They are— i any land that is placed at the disposal of the Forestry Commissioners under section 39(1) of the Forestry Act 1967, in respect of the making of any dog control order under section 55(1) of the Act, and ii any land which is or forms part of a road, in respect of the making of a dog control order under section 55(1) of the Act which provides for an offence relating to the matter described in section 55(3)(c) (the exclusion of dogs from land) (article 3 and the Schedule).

A full impact assessment of the effect of the then Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Bill was prepared (dog control orders are dealt with on pages 58-60), and was deposited in the libraries of both Houses of Parliament; copies of it are available from the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, Nobel House, 17 Smith Square, London SW1P 3JR. A separate impact assessment has not been produced for this Order as no impact on the private or voluntary sector is foreseen.
