A417 Nettleton Bottom improvement
LAND COMPENSATION ACT 1973 (AS AMENDED)
A417 Nettleton Bottom improvement
- The Secretary of State for the Environment Transport and the Regions hereby gives notice that the improvement on the A417 Nettleton Bottom was first open to public traffic on 21 November 2000.
- Under the above legislation there is a right to compensation for depreciation of more than £50 in the value of certain interests in land due to specified physical factors which arise from the use of a new or altered highway and resulting from specified physical factors (noise, vibration, smell, fumes, smoke, and the discharge on to the land in respect of which the claim is made of any solid or liquid substance). Compensation is assessed by reference to prices current at a date twelve months after the highway is first open to public traffic or, in the case of an altered highway, first open to public traffic after completion of the alterations.
- Section 2 of the Land Compensation Act 1973 specifies qualifying interests for compensation, and there are special provisions for claims by mortgagees and persons entitled under trusts or settlements. However, no compensation can be paid under Part 1 where property has been acquired for the purpose of constructing the highway.
- Any person entitled to a qualifying interest who considers he has a claim under the said provisions may obtain further information and claim form from Bal Sumal, Operational Directorate Lands Branch of the Highways Agency at the address below quoting reference HA64/12/15/32715
- Claims may be made on or after 21 Nov 2001 (the "first claim date"). Claims should be made within six years from this date. However, if an interest is disposed of or (insofar as the interest is in the land which is not dwelling) a tenancy is granted, the claim must be made before such a disposal or the tenancy granted.
