Abstract

The Registered Common Land (RCL) Layer is an Administrative Boundary dataset which shows Rural Payments Agency land mapped as Registered Common Land. The RCL layer defines the extent of all registered common boundaries within England that are claimed on for subsidies and is better aligned to Ordnance Survey MasterMap and RPA parcel boundaries. RPA's implementation of the RCL layer has been used from 2015 onwards to support the payment of subsidies associated with commons and commons grazing rights; it is derived from the CRoW Registered Common Land dataset, and is continually updated to support payments.

Lineage

Created under the CRoW Act 2000, the Registered Common Land (RCL) data was originally digitised from DNF Landline by the contractors Geodata on behalf of the Countryside Agency. This RCL layer is the Rural Payments Agency’s implementation of the CRoW dataset and is better aligned to Ordnance Survey MasterMap and RPA registered parcel boundaries. It defines the extent of all registered common boundaries within England that are claimed on for subsidies; the RCL has been edited where subsidy agreements required changes to parcels within common boundaries.
