A Guide for Third Parties (Mapping Appeals)

This guidance explains the role of third parties in appeals made under section 6 of the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 to the Secretary of State for Environment Food and Rural Affairs against the showing of land as open country or registered common land.

This guidance relates only to appeals in England.

Only the courts can give an authoritative interpretation on any point of law , so this guidance has no legal force.
