(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order designates what is "excluded land" for the purposes of section 33 of the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003 ("the Act").
Article 2(1) and (2) designates settlements of more than 10,000 people as "excluded land" for the purposes of defining registrable land under the Act. Those settlements are listed in the Schedule to the Order as "excluded land". Where several localities form a settlement, a generic name is given where possible, but in some cases, e.g. Ayr/Prestwick, the settlement name is simply an amalgamation of the names of the constituent localities. The boundaries of those settlements are specified in the General Register Office for Scotland report "Scottish Settlements - Urban and Rural Land in Scotland" and are delineated on maps known as "The Community Right to Buy (Definition of Excluded Land) (Scotland) Order 2004: Definitive Maps". The effect of a settlement being so designated is that a community body (as defined in section 34 of the Act) is not permitted to register an interest in the Register of Community Interests in Land in any land comprising the settlement.
Article 2(3) makes clear that foreshore which is adjacent to any settlement in the Schedule to the Order is excluded land.
