b
in pursuance of a notice under F1section 137 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (protection of owners of land affected by certain planning decisions) in a case where the F2Upper Tribunal is satisfied that there are proposals for using the whole or part of the relevant land for such purposes in connection with the special road as are mentioned in section 239(4)(c) above and that the amount of compensation would apart from this section be affected by the provision or proposed provision of the special road, or
c
then subsection (3) below applies for the purpose of assessing compensation in respect of the compulsory acquisition.
2
Where there are proposals for the provision of a lorry area on land adjoining, or in the vicinity of, a special road or proposed special road then, if that land, or any land of which that land forms part, is compulsorily acquired—

c
subsection (3) below applies for the purpose of assessing compensation in respect of the compulsory acquisition.
3
In any such case as is mentioned in subsection (1) or (2) above the value of the relevant interest shall be ascertained—
a
so far as it is attributable to any relevant planning permission, on the assumption that traffic carried by the special road will not have direct or indirect access to the relevant land; and
b
so far as it is not attributable to any such planning permission, on the assumption that traffic carried by the special road will not have direct access to the relevant land.

“direct access” means access otherwise than by means of a highway which is not a special road and “indirect access” means access by means of a highway which is not a special road;
“lorry area development” means development for the purpose of providing a lorry area for use in connection with a special road or proposed special road;
“relevant planning permission” means any planning permission for service area development or, as the case may be, lorry area development, which is in force on the date of service of the notice to treat, or as to the grant of which any assumption is required to be made by virtue of F7section 15 of the M1Land Compensation Act 1961, or the possibility of the grant of which is taken into account in assessing the compensation;
“service area development” means development of the relevant land, or of any part of it, for the purpose of providing such service stations or other buildings or facilities as are mentioned in section 239(4)(c) above or of providing any other buildings or facilities designed to cater to a significant extent for traffic carried or to be carried by the special road;
