Schedule 21, paragraph 2

If the value of any interest in any relevant land is depreciated by virtue of the exercise by the appropriate agency of any power to carry out pipe-laying works on private land, the person entitled to that interest shall be entitled to compensation from the appropriate agency of an amount equal to the amount of the depreciation. Where the person entitled to an interest in any relevant land sustains loss or damage which— he shall be entitled to compensation from the appropriate agency in respect of that loss or damage, in addition to compensation under sub-paragraph (1) above. is attributable to the exercise by the appropriate agency of any power to carry out pipe-laying works on private land; does not consist in depreciation of the value of that interest; and is loss or damage for which he would have been entitled to compensation by way of compensation for disturbance, if his interest in that land had been compulsorily acquired under section 154 of this Act, Where any damage to, or injurious affection of, any land which is not relevant land is attributable to the exercise by the appropriate agency, of any power to carry out pipe-laying works on private land, the appropriate agency shall pay compensation in respect of that damage or injurious affection to every person entitled to an interest in that land. The Secretary of State may by regulations make provision requiring the appropriate agency, where it is proposing or has begun, in a prescribed case, to exercise any power to carry out pipe-laying works on private land, to make advance payments on account of compensation that will become payable in respect of the exercise of that power. In this paragraph “relevant land”, in relation to any exercise of a power to carry out pipe-laying works on private land, means the land where the power is exercised or land held with that land. In this paragraph the references to a power to carry out pipe-laying works on private land are references to any of the powers conferred by virtue of section 160 or 162(3) of this Act.
