(1)Where as a result of a breach of a duty imposed by section 7, 7B, 8, 9 or 10 there is significant impairment of the environment, a claim may be made under this Act for compensation in respect of a person’s loss of profits if the circumstances of that loss satisfy the requirements in subsection (2).
(2)The requirements are that—

(b)the activity is an activity that the person may lawfully carry on, or but for the impairment would be able lawfully to carry on, in that part of the environment,
(c)the person had started to carry on, and had not ceased to carry on, the activity in that part of the environment before the occurrence began to happen,
(d)some or all of that part of the environment is significantly impaired as a result of the breach of duty, and
(e)as a direct consequence of that significant impairment, the person is not able to carry on the activity in question in so much of that part of the environment as is significantly impaired or profits less from carrying on the activity there.

(ii)section 7B (see section 7(1A)(b), (1C)(b), (3) and (3A) as applied by section 7B),
