Commons Registration Act 1965

The Commons Registration Act 1965 (c. 64) is an act of Parliament in the United Kingdom enacted in 1965 that concerns the registration of rights to common land, town greens, and village greens in England and Wales.

[1][2] The legislation under the Harold Wilson government made reference to the Land Registration Act 1925 and Land Registration Act 1936.

A partial remedy for this defect in the earlier legislation is provided by the Commons Act 2006.

Under schedule 2, 4 of the act, applications that failed under the original registration process may, in certain circumstances, be reconsidered – offering, in effect, a second chance for the land to be confirmed ('re-registered') as common.
