# The Caversfield Service Family Accommodation Byelaws 2012, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Byelaws)
Part II of the Military Lands Act 1892 (c.43) provides for the making of byelaws to regulate the use of land held for military purposes, and to secure the safety of the public where public use of that land is permitted.
These byelaws regulate the area of land known as the Caversfield Service Family Accommodation. The site is split into two Controlled Areas for the purposes of the byelaws. Public access is permitted in the Controlled Areas when they are not closed to the public, except for areas that are enclosed or entry is stated to be prohibited or restricted. Public access is not permitted to land used for residential purposes.
A copy of these byelaws may be inspected on the Ministry of Defence website—http://www.mod.uk/DefenceInternet/MicroSite/DIO/WhatWeDo/Byelaws
Copies are displayed on signboards erected locally and may also be obtained from the Librarian, Defence Infrastructure Organisation, Kingston Road, Sutton Coldfield B75 7RL.
By section 17(2) of the Military Lands Act 1892 any person who commits an offence against any byelaw made under the Act, is liable, on conviction before a court of summary jurisdiction, to a fine not exceeding level 2 on the standard scale. At the time of printing the maximum fine on level 2 is five hundred pounds (£500).
Any person seeking a permission under byelaw 8(b) should apply in writing to the Byelaws Appointed Person, the RAF Commander, Building 200 Command Section, RAF Croughton, Brackley, Northants, NN13 5NQ.
