Commentary on provisions of the Act Deregulation Section 29: Commons and other open spaces
Section 29 disapplies enactments which regulate the use of commons, town or village greens, open spaces or allotments. It provides that no such enactment prevents or restricts the doing of anything for Phase One purposes on land held by the Secretary of State or the nominated undertaker for those purposes, the exercise of any right of entry under the Act or the doing of anything in exercise of any other power of the Act. This therefore allows the carrying out of works for Phase One purposes which would otherwise be in breach of such enactments.
