§ Mr. HendryTo ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (1) what representations she has received regarding changes in the value of land registered as common land under the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000; [67940]
(2) what analysis she has made of changes in the value of land registered as common land under the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000; and if she will make a statement. [67939]
§ Alun MichaelThe Department has not received any specific representations about changes in the value of registered common land which might be due to the provisions contained in the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000. This was an issue on which comments were invited during consultation on draft regulations under section 68 of the Act relating to vehicular access over common land, but no specific representations were received. As the published regulatory impact assessment makes clear, the Department cannot predict with confidence the detailed impact of the regulations.
