Public Rights of Way (Register of Applications under section 53(5) of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981) (England) Regulations 2005 (S.I. No. 2461 of 2005).

These Regulations prescribe the information to be contained in that register and the manner in which that register is to be kept by the surveying authority (regs. 2 and 3). These Regulations do not apply to an application under section 53(5) of the Act which has been determined by the surveying authority before the relevant date (reg. 4). Section 53(5) of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 enables any person to apply to a surveying authority for an order to modify the definitive map and statement concerning public rights of way. Section 53B(1) of the Act (inserted by paragraph 2 of Schedule 5 to the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000) requires every surveying authority to keep a register of applications under section 53(5) of the Act.
