SCHEDULE 21 CCOMPENSATION ETC. IN RESPECT OF CERTAIN WORKS POWER
Assessment of compensation under paragraph 2
3
(1)
Any question of disputed compensation under paragraph 2 above shall be referred to and determined by the F1Upper Tribunal ; and in relation to the determination of any such compensation the provisions of F2section 4 of the M1Land Compensation Act 1961 shall apply, subject to any necessary modifications.
(2)
For the purpose of assessing any compensation under paragraph 2 above, so far as that compensation is in respect of loss or damage consisting in depreciation of the value of an interest in land, the rules set out in section 5 of the Land Compensation Act 1961 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 an interest in land.
(3)
Where the interest in land in respect of which any compensation falls to be assessed in accordance with sub-paragraph (2) above is subject to a mortgage—
(a)
the compensation shall be assessed as if the interest were not subject to the mortgage;
(b)
a claim for compensation may be made by any mortgagee of the interest, but without prejudice to the making of a claim by the person entitled to the interest;
(c)
no such compensation shall be payable in respect of the interest of the mortgagee (as distinct from the interest which is subject to the mortgage); and
(d)
any such compensation which is payable in respect of the interest which is subject to the mortgage shall be paid to the mortgagee, or, if there is more than one mortgagee, to the first mortgagee, and shall in either case be applied by him as if it were proceeds of sale.
(4)
Where, apart from this sub-paragraph, any person entitled to an interest in any land would be entitled under paragraph 2 above to an amount of compensation in respect of any works, there shall be deducted from that amount an amount equal to the amount by which the carrying out of the works has enhanced the value of any other land which—
(a)
is contiguous or adjacent to that land; and
(b)
is land to an interest in which that person is entitled in the same capacity.
