The Dartmoor Commons (Authorised Severance) Order 2008
This Order provides that the Dartmoor Commoners Council is to be regarded as a commons council for the purposes of paragraph 1 (severance by transfer to public bodies) of Schedule 1 to the 2006 Act. The Order enables the Council, in relation to Dartmoor commons—to acquire rights of common by a transfer which operates as a permanent severance of the rights of common from the land to which they are currently attached; andto veto any acquisition of rights of common by Natural England.
