The number of timeous applications to register a community interest in land has generally been high, averaging 70% over the past seven years. It is now more than 5 years since the first registered interest was approved by Ministers, and community bodies are now able to re-register their community interest in land. A total of 10 Community Bodies with 12 applications have been able to apply to re-register their community interest in land. Some four of them have re-registered their interest while a further three were unable to submit their applications before their registrations expired and consequently submit them as new registrations. Some five of them did not apply, and their registrations have expired. One re-registration application is currently pending a decision by Ministers.
