The Claim

The Claim

6.

Mr Nelson’s original Notice of Reference dated 7 October 2023 put the claim at ‘£75-£90k’. That was subsequently amended by his statement of case received by the Tribunal in January 2024, where it increased to £266,681.02. It then reduced to £177,126 in May 2024. At the hearing, Mr Nelson confirmed that his claim was based on the revised expert evidence of Mr Davies, and stood as follows:

A. Compensation in respect of the wayleave:

£19,462

B. Compensation in respect of the loss of development value:

£53,500

C. Compensation in respect of restrictions on access:

£69,000

Total:

*£141,962

*At the start of the hearing Mr Nelson mistakenly said £139,375 but this was based on a previous version of Mr Davies’s calculation of basis A which was at £16,875.

7.

SEPD say that only basis A is valid, and puts compensation at £19,462.
