For section 7 of the M1Act of 1965 (measure of compensation) there shall be substituted the following:—

“7

In assessing the compensation to be paid by the acquiring authority under this Act regard shall be had, not only to the extent (if any) to which the value of the land over which the right is to be acquired is depreciated by the acquisition of the right, but also to the damage (if any) to be sustained by the owner of the land by reason of its severance from other land of his, or injurious affection of that other land, by the exercise of the powers conferred by this or the special Act.”.
