This Act regulates the use of agricultural land for purposes of protection of the soil and the landscape. Agricultural land is land used for cultivation or pasture, which is registered for tax purposes as an agricultural unit (sect. 1). The Act does not apply to agricultural land which is not used as such (sect. 2). Regulation making powers of the Government are described in sections 6A and 6B. Observation of provisions of the present Act shall be supervised by County Councils. Use of land requires notification and in certain circumstances a permit of the County Council. (13 sections)
