What compensation is for
4 What compensation is for
The compensation will include amounts for the value of the land and may include amounts for any special value to you of the land acquired, any legal, valuation or other professional costs which you have to pay and compensation for disadvantage or loss to you which cannot be valued purely in terms of money. Compensation may also include an amount for disturbance (for instance if you have to move to other land) or an amount for the decrease in value of other land which you own and which is connected with the land which is acquired.
The Land Acquisition and Compensation Act 1986 sets out the scope of compensation available when land has been acquired compulsorily; see Parts 3 and 4 of that Act.
