LAND DEVELOPMENT VALUES (COMPENSATION) ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1965 - SECT 20

Claims for compensation.

20.(1) Compensation under this Part shall not be payable unless a claim for it
is duly made to the Ministry in accordance with this section.

(2) A claim for compensation under this Part shall not have effect unless it
is made before the end of the period of six months beginning with the date of
the planning decision to which it relates or beginning with the passing of
this Act, whichever period last expires, but the Ministry may in any
particular case (either before, on or after the date on which the time for
claiming compensation under this Part would otherwise have expired) allow an
extended, or further extended, period for making such a claim.

(3) Regulations made under this section may

(a)require claims for compensation under this Part to be made in a form
prescribed by the regulations;

(b)require a claimant to provide such evidence and information in support of
the claim and as to the interests of other persons in the land to which the
claim relates (being evidence, information or interests of which the claimant
is aware) as may be so prescribed.

(4) Where a claim is made to the Ministry under subsection (1)

(a)if it appears to the Ministry

(i)that the development to which the planning decision related was not
new development; or

(ii)that at the time of the planning decision no part of the land to which the
claim relates had a balance of development value; or

<(iii)that compensation is excluded by section 15 or 16;


(b)the Ministry shall notify the claimant accordingly, stating on which of
those grounds it appears to the Ministry that compensation is not payable;

(b)in any other case or if a claimant disputes the Ministry's findings,
the Ministry shall serve notice of the claim on every other person appearing
to it to be entitled to an estate in the land to which the claim relates and,
where the land is the subject of a settlement, on the
trustees of the settlement, if any, if an estate in the land is not vested in
them.
