123Registration of rights

1

In this section a “GPSS right” is a right conferred by section 120, 121 or 125(1).

2

A GPSS right in respect of any land—

a

is not subject to any enactment requiring the registration or recording of interests in, charges over or other obligations affecting land;

b

binds any person who is at any time the owner or occupier of the land.

But a GPSS right in respect of any land in England or Wales is a local land charge and subsection (2)(a) does not apply to subsection (2) of section 5 of the Local Land Charges Act 1975 (duty to register local land charge).

For the purposes of the operation in relation to a GPSS right of the duty under that subsection to register a local land charge, the Secretary of State is the originating authority.

A GPSS right in respect of any land in Scotland may be registered in the Land Register of Scotland or recorded in the Register of Sasines.
