Common land declarations of exempt works

Declarations of exempt works for common land.

We will no longer be adding ‘Declarations of Exmept Works’ to GOV.UK.

The Planning Inspectorate is responsible for determining applications under the 2006 Act regarding common land in England, and several other pieces of legislation regarding commons and greens. All applications are determined on behalf of the Secretary of State for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra).

For declarations older than a year please view the National Archive website
