(a)a blight notice is served in respect of an interest in the whole or part of an agricultural unit, and

(a)a claim that the unaffected area is not reasonably capable of being farmed, either by itself or in conjunction with other relevant land, as a separate agricultural unit, and
(b)a requirement that the appropriate authority shall purchase his interest in the whole of the unit or, as the case may be, in the whole of the part of it to which the notice relates.

(a)if the blight notice is served only in respect of part of the land comprised in the agricultural unit, the remainder of it, and
(b)land which is comprised in any other agricultural unit occupied by the claimant on the date of service and in respect of which he is then entitled to an owner’s interest as defined in section 119(4).
(4)Where a blight notice to which this section applies is served by a crofter or cottar, subsection (2) shall have effect as if for paragraph (b) there were substituted the following paragraph—

(5)If the Lands Tribunal upholds an objection but only on the ground mentioned in subsection (1), the Tribunal shall declare that the blight notice is a valid notice in relation to the affected area but not in relation to the unaffected area.

(b)on a reference to the Tribunal, the Tribunal makes a declaration in accordance with section 110(5),

(5)The date referred to in subsection (4)—
(a)in a case falling within paragraph (a) of that subsection, is the date on which notice is given in accordance with that paragraph, and
