Another bit of information that I've just been fed.


Section 38 of the Commons Act 2006 replaces section 194 of the Law of Property Act 1925, which is repealed. Under section 38, consent is generally needed from the Secretary of State for any restricted works on registered common land. Restricted works are those which prevent or impede access to or over the land, which might include erecting fencing, constructing buildings, digging ditches or resurfacing of land with tarmac and similar materials.
