“large area application” means an application falling within article 2 (first registration of land; first registration of title to a lease) which comprises land having an area or aggregate area exceeding 100 hectares;

(b)

“large scale application” means an application falling within articles 2, 3, 4 or 5, other than a large area application or a low value application, which relates to not fewer than 20 units of land;

(c)

“low value application” means an application falling within articles 3, 4 or 5 where the value of the land, or the amount of the charge, to which it relates (as the case may be) does not exceed £25,000;

(d)

“unit of land” means:

(i)

where the land is unregistered, a separate area of land not adjoining any other unregistered land comprised in the same application;

(ii)

where the land is registered, the land registered under a single title number.

(2)

The fee for a large scale application falling within articles 2, 3, 4 or 5 shall be:

(a)

£20 in respect of each unit of land to which the application relates; or

(b)

the amount payable in respect of the application under article 2, 3, 4, or 5, as the case may be,

whichever is the greater.

(3)

If, having regard to the extent of the land comprised in a large area application, the Registrar considers that the cost of the work involved in dealing with that application would substantially exceed any fee otherwise payable under this Order, such additional fee shall be payable as the Registrar shall direct as appropriate to cover the excess cost of the work involved.
