What are the categories of legislation affected by CROW Section 15?
Section 15 states that CROW rights do not apply to land where certain enactments are in force: • commons and other lands with access rights under s193 of the Law of Property Act 1925 • land with rights set up under local and private act, for example Ashdown Forest and the Dartmoor Commons • land covered by a current access agreement under the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949 • land subject to a management scheme under the Commons Act 1899 • heritage sites in public ownership with existing statutory access under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979. These categories of legislation may grant higher rights. For example, s193 of the Law of Property Act grants rights for horse riding, and some (but not all) local and private acts include various rights in addition to access on foot.
