Paragraph 1 – Changing or revoking an infrastructure consent order: compensation
381.Where an infrastructure consent order is changed or revoked by the Welsh Ministers without an application being made, this paragraph gives a right to compensation for certain losses to persons with an interest in land to which the infrastructure consent order relates, persons with an interest in minerals on such land or persons for whose benefit the infrastructure consent order has effect.

383.Those persons are also entitled, on making a claim, to be paid compensation by the Welsh Ministers for any other loss or damage which is directly attributable to the change or revocation.
384.Sub-paragraph (5) specifies that compensation is not payable in respect of certain works and losses.
385.The Welsh Ministers may make regulations about the timeframe and the process for making a claim for compensation under this paragraph.
