Discontinuance of use (1963, section 37).
|
19.—(1) If, on a claim made to the planning authority, it is shown that, as a result of the discontinuance, or the compliance with conditions on the continuance, of any use of land consequent upon a notice under section 37 of the Principal Act, the value of an interest of any person in the land existing at the time of the notice is reduced, or that any person having an interest in the land at that time has suffered damage by being disturbed in his enjoyment of the land, such person shall, subject to the provisions of this Act, be entitled to be paid by the planning authority by way of compensation the amount of such reduction in value or the amount of such damage, provided that no compensation shall be paid under this section in relation to damage resulting from the imposition under section 37 of the Principal Act of conditions on the continuance of the use of land, being conditions imposed in order to avoid or reduce serious water pollution or the danger of such pollution.
|
|
| |
(2) Subsection (1) shall not apply where the use of land is use for the exhibition of advertising unless at the time of such discontinuance or compliance, the land has been used for the exhibition of advertising for less than five years, whether such use was continuous or intermittent or whether or not, while the land was being so used, advertising was exhibited at the same place on the land.
|
|
| |
(3) Where, under section 29 of the Principal Act as applied by subsection (8) of section 37 of that Act, it is the duty of the planning authority to acquire an interest in land, compensation in relation to that interest shall not be payable pursuant to this section.
