Prior to the introduction of revised procedures (set out in regulations under Section 68 of the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000, which came into effect in July 2002), people who had to cross common land in order to reach their homes were sometimes denied the right of access to their own property, due to an anomaly in the law. In order to gain access, it was necessary for them to obtain an 'easement' from the owner of the common land. This could be very expensive for the person needing the right of access.

Once payment has been made, the right of access will continue in perpetuity.
