520			_aACQ/206/2000, 26 February 2003. Claim for compensation for the compulsory acquisition of land for a reclamation scheme. The valuation date was 29 March 1996. The land was divided into five blocks and the value of blocks one, four and five agreed at £2 100 each. The value of block two was agreed at £559 865 but there was disagreement as to whether a ransom payment for access would have to be paid to owner for the adjacent site and deducted from this figure. The claimant (T) valued block 3 at £1.56m on the grounds that it had value for mineral extraction whilst M valued this piece of land at nil because a certificate under the Land Compensation Act 1961 s17 stated that no planning permission would be granted and therefore the minerals had no commercial value. LT awarded T £282 000 in total made up of £2 100 for blocks one, four and five plus £279 000 for block two and nil for block three.
