Commons Bill [HL]

moved Amendment No. 7:"Page 5, line 16, at end insert—" ““(3A)   Where a right of common to which this section applies is exercisable over land for which a commons association is established, the right may only be severed by a transfer under subsection (3)(a) or (b) if that association consents to the transfer. (3B)   Where a person proposes to sever a right of common to which this section applies by a transfer under subsection (3)(a) or (b), Natural England or the Countryside Council for Wales as the case may be must— (a)   give notice of the proposal to the owner of the land over which the right is exercisable unless his name and address cannot reasonably be ascertained; (b)   in a case where there is no commons association established for the land, give notice of the proposal to such persons as they consider represent the interests of persons exercising rights of common over the land. (3C)   A notice under subsection (3B) must be given at least two months before the transfer and must— (a)   specify the name and address of the owner of the land to which the right is attached; (b)   describe the right proposed to be transferred, giving such details as regulations may specify; (c)   state the proposed consideration for the transfer; and (d)   give such other information as regulations may specify.”” The noble Lord said: My Lords, I beg to move.
