Regulation 5 Crofters common grazings

Subject to paragraph (4), a grazings committee may make an application for grant in relation to a common grazing with the consent of a majority of the crofters ordinarily resident in the township and sharing in the common grazing.

Where an undertaking is given by a grazings committee such undertaking shall include an obligation upon the committee to bind their successors in office to the undertaking.

Subject to paragraph (4), where an undertaking is given by a grazings committee payments by way of grant in respect of that undertaking shall be made to the clerk of the committee who shall divide such payment among the crofters who share in the common grazing in such proportion as may be determined by the grazings committee.

Where a grazings committee propose to apply under paragraph (1) they shall prior to making the application give notice of their intention to do so and of their proposed division, under paragraph (3), of grant, by advertisement or otherwise to the crofters ordinarily resident in the township and sharing in the common grazing.

Any such crofter as is mentioned in paragraph (4) may within one month of the date of the notice under that paragraph make representation in respect of the proposals to the Crofters Commission who may approve them with or without modification or reject them.
