Explanatory note

England and Wales

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order provides that the Dartmoor Commoners Council is to be regarded as a commons council for the purposes of paragraph 1 (severance by transfer to public bodies) of Schedule 1 to the 2006 Act. The Order enables the Council, in relation to Dartmoor commons—

(a)

to acquire rights of common by a transfer which operates as a permanent severance of the rights of common from the land to which they are currently attached; and

(b)

to veto any acquisition of rights of common by Natural England.

A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sector is foreseen.
