LAND COMPENSATION ACT 1973 (AS AMENDED)
A1 Buckden
The Secretary of State for Environment, Transport and the Regions hereby gives notice that the public works detailed in the schedule below were first used after completion on 10 October 2001.
Under Part 1 of the Land Compensation Act 1973 as amended there is a right to compensation in respect of any depreciation of more than £50 in the value of certain interests in land caused by the use of public works and resulting from specified physical factors. In the case of street lighting the applicable physical factor is artificial lighting. Compensation is assessed by reference to prices current at a date twelve months after the works are first used after completion.
Interests qualifying for compensation are specified in section 2 of the above-mentioned Act and there are special provisions relating to claims by mortgagees and persons entitled under trusts or settlements. However, no compensation can be paid under Part 1 where part of a property for the purpose of installing the works.
Any person entitled to a qualifying interest who considers that he has a claim under the said provisions may obtain further information and claim forms from Mr B. Sumal, Highways Agency, Operations Directorate, Lands, Heron House, 49-53 Goldington Road, Bedford, MK40 3LL. Tel: 01234-796657
Claims may be made twelve months after the public works are first used after completion, that is on or after 10 October 2002 (the "first claim day"). Claims should be made within six years from this date. However, any person who within the twelve months preceding that date makes a contract for disposing of his interest or (insofar as the interest is in land which is not a dwelling) for granting a tenancy may make a claim within that period and must do so before the interest is disposed of or tenancy granted. Compensation in such cases will not be payable before the first claim day.
Schedule
