Office of Public Sector Information

EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

Section 31A(1) of the Highways Act 1980 (“the 1980 Act”) requires the appropriate council, as defined in section 31(7) of the 1980 Act, to keep a register containing information relating to maps and statements deposited and declarations lodged with that council, under section 31(6) of the 1980 Act, relating to dedicated highways.

These Regulations, which apply only in relation to England, make provision for the information which is to be included in a register (regulation 3) and for the manner in which the register is to be kept (regulation 4).

These Regulations also provide for the circumstances in which an entry may be removed from the register (regulation 5).

A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
