A1 DARRINGTON TO DISHFORTH PROJECT – BRAMHAM TO WETHERBY SECTION AND WALSHFORD TO DISHFORTH SECTION

1. Road Management Services (Darrington) Ltd on behalf of the Secretary of State for Transport hereby gives notice that the public works detailed in the Schedule below were first used after completion on the dates shown in the Schedule.

2. 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 the public works detailed in the Schedule the applicable physical factor is artificial lighting. Compensation is assessed by reference to prices current at a date twelve months after the public works are first used after completion.

3. 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 has been acquired for the purpose of constructing the highway.

4. Any person entitled to a qualifying interest who considers he/she has a claim under the said provisions may obtain further information and claim form from Road Management Services (Darrington) Ltd, Motorway Maintenance Depot, Stump Cross, Boroughbridge, North Yorkshire, YO51 9HU.

5. Claims may be made twelve months after the new or altered highway is first opened to public traffic, that is on or after the “first claim days” shown in the Schedule below. 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 the tenancy granted.  Compensation in such cases will not be payable before the first claim day.
