1
Statutory undertakers shall, subject to the following provisions of this Part of this Act, be entitled to compensation from the F1 planning authority—
a
in respect of any decision made in accordance with section 214 of this Act whereby planning permission to develop operational land of those undertakers is refused or is granted subject to conditions where—
i
planning permission for that development would have been granted by a development order but for a direction given under such an order that planning permission so granted should not apply to the development; and
ii
it is not development which has received specific parliamentary approval (within the meaning given to that expression by section 212(3) of this Act);
b
in respect of any order under section 42 of this Act, as modified by section 216 thereof, whereby planning permission, granted on the application of those undertakers for the development of any such land, is revoked or modified.
2
Where, by virtue of section 219 of this Act, any right vested in or belonging to statutory undertakers is extinguished, or any requirement is imposed on statutory undertakers, those undertakers shall be entitled to compensation from the acquiring or appropriating authority at whose instance the right was extinguished or the requirement imposed.
3
Where works are carried out for the removal or re-siting of statutory undertakers’ apparatus, being works which the undertakers have the right to carry out by virtue of section 221 of this Act or an order of Ministers thereunder, the undertakers shall be entitled to compensation from the acquiring or appropriating authority.
4
Notwithstanding anything in subsection (1) of this section, if the decision or order in question relates to land acquired by the statutory undertakers after 7th January 1947, and the Secretary of State and the appropriate Minister are satisfied, having regard to the nature, situation and existing development of the land and of any neighbouring land, and to any other material considerations, that it is unreasonable that compensation should be recovered in respect of that decision or order, they may include therein a direction that subsection (1) of this section shall not apply to that decision or order.
