(iii) the fact that exempted development might have been or may be carried out on the land, and | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(iv) the open market value of comparable land, if any, in the vicinity of the land whose values are being determined; | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(b) no account shall be taken of— | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(i) any part of the value of the land attributable to subsidies or grants available from public moneys, or to any tax or rating allowances in respect of development, from which development of the land might benefit, | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(ii) the special suitability or adaptability of the land for any purpose if that purpose is a purpose to which it could be applied only in pursuance of statutory powers, or for which there is no market apart from the special needs of a particular purchaser or the requirements of any statutory body as defined in Rule 5; provided that any bona fide offer for the purchase of the land which may be brought to the notice of the arbitrator shall be taken into consideration, | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(iii) any increase in the value of land attributable to the use thereof or of any structure thereon in a manner which could be restrained by any court, or is contrary to law, or detrimental to the health of the inmates of the structure or to public health or safety or to the environment, | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(iv) any depreciation or increase in value attributable to the land, or any land in the vicinity, being reserved for a particular purpose in a development plan, | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

(c) the assumption that, if any permission to develop the land were to be granted, any conditions which might reasonably be imposed in relation to matters referred to in the Fourth Schedule (but no other conditions) would be imposed, and | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(d) any permission to develop the land, not being permission for development of a kind specified in section 13 (2), already existing at the time of the relevant decision under Part IV of the Principal Act. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4. (1) In determining the subsequent value of the land in a case in which there has been a refusal of permission— | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

THIRD SCHEDULE Reasons for the Refusal of Permission Which Exclude Compensation | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1. Development of the kind proposed on the land would be premature by reference to any one or combination of the following constraints and the period within which the constraints involved may reasonably be expected to cease— | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(a) any existing deficiency in the provision of water supplies or sewerage facilities, | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(b) the capacity of existing or prospective water supplies or sewerage facilities being required for prospective development as regards which a grant of a permission under Part IV of the Principal Act, an undertaking under Part VI of that Act or a notice under section 13 exists, | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

(e) any existing deficiency in the road network serving the area of the proposed development, including considerations of capacity, width, alignment, or the surface or structural condition of the pavement, which would render that network, or any part of it, unsuitable to carry the increased road traffic likely to result from the development, | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(f) any prospective deficiency (including the considerations specified in subparagraph (e) in the road network serving the area of the proposed development which— | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(i) would arise because of the increased road traffic likely to result from that development and from prospective development as regards which a grant of permission under Part IV of the Principal Act, an undertaking under Part VI of that Act or a notice under section 13 exists, or | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(ii) would arise because of the increased road traffic likely to result from that development and from any other prospective development or from any development objective, as indicated in the development plan, and | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(iii) would render that road network, or any part of it, unsuitable to carry the increased road traffic likely to result from the proposed development. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2. Development of the kind proposed would be premature pending the determination by the planning authority or the road authority of a road layout for the area or any part thereof. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3. Development of the kind proposed would be premature by reference to the order of priority, if any, for development indicated in the development plan. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4. The proposed development would endanger public safety by reason of traffic hazard or obstruction of road users or otherwise. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5. The proposed development, by itself or by the precedent which the grant of permission for it would set for other relevant development, would adversely affect the use of a national road or other major road by traffic. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

7. The proposed development would cause serious air pollution, water pollution, noise pollution or vibration or pollution connected with the disposal of waste. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8. In the case of development including any structure or any addition to or extension of a structure, the structure, addition or extension would— | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(i) infringe an existing building line or, where none exists, a building line determined by the planning authority or by the Board, | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(ii) be under a public road, | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(iii) seriously injure the amenities, or depreciate the value, of property in the vicinity, | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(iv) tend to create any serious traffic congestion, | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

(vi) endanger the health or safety of persons occupying or employed in the structure or any adjoining structure, or | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(vii) be prejudicial to public health. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9. The development would contravene materially a condition attached to an existing permission for development. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10. The proposed development would injure or interfere with a historic monument which stands registered in the Register of Historic Monuments under section 5 of the National Monuments (Amendment) Act, 1987 , or which is situated in an archaeological area so registered. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11. The development would contravene materially a development objective indicated in the development plan for the use solely or primarily (as may be indicated in the development plan) of particular areas for particular purposes (whether residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural or otherwise). | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12. Paragraph 11 shall, subject to paragraph 13, not apply in a case where a development objective for the use specified in paragraph 11 applied to the land at any time within the five years immediately prior to the date on which the relevant application was made for permission under Part IV of the Principal Act to develop the land, and the development would not have contravened materially that development objective. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13. Paragraph 12 shall not apply in a case where a person acquired his interest in the land— | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(a) after the development objective referred to in paragraph 11 has come into operation, or | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(b) after notice has been published, | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(i) in accordance with section 21 of the Principal Act, of a proposed new development plan or of proposed variations of a development plan, or | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(ii) in accordance with section 21A of the Principal Act, of a material alteration of the draft concerned, | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
indicating in draft the development objective referred to in paragraph 11. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14. For the purposes of paragraph 13, the onus shall be on a person to prove all relevant facts relating to his interest in the land to the satisfaction of the planning authority. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
