Anyone know about Land Compensation Act?

Is it purely for noise and dust or is reduction in property value considered?

I know we have to claim a year after the road is completed but just wondered if we can expect a pittance or whether compensation will reflect fall in house values plus money for suffering noise, inconvenience whilst being built and increase in cars and traffic noise afterwards?

In the blue section delete "compensation" and replace it with "your claim"

If any one else is making a claim then there is a lot to be said for acting together.

Toots,

The office of Deputy Prime Minister has published five booklets giving advice on the Land Compensation Act

Before the scheme went ahead baseline noise, vibration and air quality surveys should have been carried out. From these an Environmental Impact Assessement would have been published as part of the Planning Submission process. This Assessment would have identified which properties would be affected by the proposed scheme and any mitigation measures required - during the construction phase as well as post opening.

Regards,
John
