When determining compensation for injurious affection under s 55(f) of the Land Acquisition (Just Terms Compensation) Act 1991, any discount for risk must be applied to the 'before' value of the retained land, not to the differential between the 'before' and 'after' values. The Pointe Gourde principle applies to the 'before' valuation exercise for injurious affection, requiring disregard of planning steps taken as part of the scheme of acquisition. Land rezoned for a public purpose (such as open space) may sustain injurious affection where the decrease in value is reflected in the value of an inchoate compensation claim against the acquiring authority.
