[^f00004]: 2008 c. 29.

[^f00005]: Paragraph (1A) of regulation 49 only extends to Scotland. It was inserted in relation to Scotland by S.S.I. 2007/349, regulation 2(1) and (4)(b).

[^f00006]: 1997 c. 8.

[^f00007]: 2008 c. 29.

[^f00017]: Regulation 93(2) provides that the reference to matters being “prescribed by regulations” is to their being prescribed in exercise of the power to make regulations under section 30 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (c.69) (“the 1981 Act”). That section is applied by regulation 93(1) so as to enable provision to be made for the purposes of these Regulations corresponding to those for which provision may be made under section 30. Section 30 of the 1981 Act was repealed in England and Wales by paragraph 2 of Schedule 9 to the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 (c.37) (“the 2000 Act”), but by virtue of paragraph 19(1) of Schedule 11 to the 2000 Act continues to apply in connection with an order made under section 29 of the 1981 Act before the coming into force of paragraph 2 of Schedule 9 to the 2000 Act. As a consequence the operation of regulation 93(2) is not affected by the repeal in England and Wales of section 30 of the 1981 Act.
