Correcting a Mistake in the Register

Section 19 (2)(a) of the Commons Act 2006 allows for applications and proposals to correct certain types of mistakes in the registers of common land and town and village greens in certain circumstances.

We can only correct registers where the registration authority has made a mistake when it made or amended an entry in the register. For example, if a boundary of a common was recorded in a way that was not shown on the original application, this could be corrected; but if the authority recorded all the information that was in the original application, it would not be the authority's mistake.

To apply to have a mistake corrected, you need to complete a CA10 application form and provide an ordnance survey map of the land at the correct scale (at least 1:10,560 for moorland and 1:2500 for other land). Please return applications to the Commons Register Officer.

There is no fee for this application.
