Deregulation Act 2015

Determination of an application by the authority

629.Paragraph 4(1) of Schedule 13A provides for the determination by an authority of an application under section 53(5) for an order modifying the definitive map. A surveying authority must, as soon as reasonably practicable after serving notice under paragraph 2(4)(b) of Schedule 13A, investigate the matters stated in the application, consult relevant local authorities and decide whether to make an order. The authority must then, under sub-paragraph (4), give notice of their decision to the applicant and any landowners and occupiers that they notified as a result of the preliminary assessment and set out the reasons for their decision.

630.Sub-paragraph (2) disapplies paragraph 4(1) in cases where the new section 54B (modifications by consent) applies. However, sub-paragraph (3) provides that in such cases the authority must take the steps mentioned in sub-paragraph (1)(a) and (b) as soon as reasonably practicable after any of the following events:

  • an owner does not consent to the making of an order under section 53(2);

  • the authority decide for any other reason not to make a modification consent order;

  • the period of 12 months expires without the authority deciding whether to make an order;

  • the authority make such an order but decide not to confirm it.

Impact Assessments

Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:

  • Why the government is proposing to intervene;
  • The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
  • How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
  • The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
