(3) For this purpose—

(a)an estate in land shall be valued at the time when the declaration is applied by virtue of regulation 15 to that land; and

(4) Article 13 of the Land Acquisition and Compensation (Northern Ireland) Order 1973(1) (mortgages, trusts for sale and settlements) shall apply in relation to compensation under regulation 19 as it applies to compensation under Part II of that Order.

(5) For the purpose of assessing any compensation payable under regulation 19, the rules set out in Article 6 of the Land Compensation (Northern Ireland) Order 1982(2) shall, so far as applicable and subject to any necessary modifications, have effect as they have effect for the purpose of assessing compensation for the compulsory acquisition of land.
