Runway Development and Expansion Claims
Part 1 of the Land Compensation Act 1973
provides that compensation can be claimed by residents who own and
also occupy property, near an airport, that has been reduced in
value by physical factors such as noise, vibration, smell, fumes,
smoke and artificial lighting caused by runway development and
expansions.
Runway development and expansion land
compensation claims
Part 1 land compensation act
claims in relation to runway developments and expansions are
usually against the airport, known as the ‘Compensating
Authority’.
Hugh James environmental
law solicitors have represented thousands of residents in the UK
whose property values have been reduced because of airport and
runway developments and expansions. Our environmental lawyers
handle a variety of land compensation claims from modest terrace
houses to large family estates.
Typical reasons for claiming under
Land Compensation Act
Our airport development and
expansion land compensation clients usually experience
increased noise because the runway developments, on some occasions,
can see aeroplanes being diverted closer to properties
because of new flight paths. Occasionally residents also complain
of the dust and fumes if they live close to the runway. These are
the physical factors which reduce the value of the property.
Assessing land compensation act
claims
Land compensation act
claims are assessed on percentage depreciation in property value.
We work closely with specialist surveyors as well as experts in
aviation planning and environmental impact assessment to ensure we
get the best results.
