(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order designates descriptions of land to which Chapter 1 (controls on dogs) of Part 6 (dogs) of the Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Act 2005 ("the Act") does not apply (article 3), for the purposes specified in relation to each description.
Two descriptions of land are designated in this Order. They are—
-
(i) any land that is placed at the disposal of the Forestry Commissioners under section 39(1) of the Forestry Act 1967, in respect of the making of any dog control order under section 55(1) of the Act, and
(ii) any land over which a road passes, in respect of the making of a dog control order under section 55(1) of the Act which provides for an offence relating to the matter described in section 55(3)(c) (the exclusion of dogs from land) (article 3 and the Schedule).
A full regulatory impact assessment of the effect of the then Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Bill was prepared (dog control orders are dealt with on pp.58-60), and was deposited in the libraries of both Houses of Parliament; copies of it are available from the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, Ashdown House, 123 Victoria Street, London SW1E 6DE. A separate regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this Order as it has no impact on the costs of business.
