520 _a[ 2004] EWCA Civ 970, 21 July 2004. Appeal by W against LT decision (LCA/30/2003, [2004] RVR 145) allowing a claim for compensation brought by claimant O under the Compulsory Purchase Act 1965 s10 based on diminution in rental value. W appealed asking whether a compensating authority is liable to pay compensation under s10 of the Act in respect of damage caused to a business through the partial obstruction of a nearby highway by erection of hoardings around authorised construction work when those hoardings are in-situ for no longer than nor in greater extent than necessary for those works safely to be undertaken. "Clift and another v Welsh Office" (CA, Abs59941), "Herring v Metropolitan Board of Works" ([1865] 19 CB (NS) 509), " Lingke v Christchurch Corp" (CA [1912] 3 KB 595) considered. Principles of "Wildtree Hotels Ltd and others v Harrow LBC" (HL, Abs62597) were applied. CA recognised the right of an occupier of premises adjoining the highway to erect hoardings to a reasonable extent and for a reasonable time in connection with building works being carried out lawfully. However, it also acknowledged that substantial interference with the public's right to use the highway constituted a public nuisance. A member of the public including an adjoining owner who suffered special damage was entitled to sue the creator of the public nuisance. CA upheld LT decision. Appeal dismissed.
