Cambridgeshire County Council is the designated registration authority under the Commons Registration Act 1965 and Commons Act 2006 for lands within the present administrative county.

Under the 1965 Act, all existing commons and town or village greens had to be registered. The commons registers, which also include subsequent registrations, are maintained by the registration authority and contain information about the land, the owner and any rights of common.

The Countryside Access Team undertakes for the County Council the following statutory duties:

• Maintaining the registers of common land and town and village greens.
• Processing applications to register new land.
• Processing applications to amend the registers.

Please note that we can only provide you with details of land that was registered under the 1965 Act. We do not have jurisdiction over open spaces not registered under the Act, nor do we arbitrate in cases of dispute in relation to registered land.
