Part I: Listed Buildings — Chapter III: Rights of Owners etc.

This section shall have effect where listed building consent is revoked or modified by an order under section 23 (other than an order which takes effect by virtue of section 25).

If on a claim made to the local planning authority within the prescribed time and in the prescribed manner, it is shown that a person interested in the building—

has incurred expenditure in carrying out works which are rendered abortive by the revocation or modification; or
has otherwise sustained loss or damage which is directly attributable to the revocation or modification,

the authority shall pay that person compensation in respect of that expenditure, loss or damage.

Subject to subsection (4), no compensation shall be paid under this section in respect of—

any works carried out before the grant of the listed building consent which is revoked or modified; or
any other loss or damage (not being loss or damage consisting of depreciation of the value of an interest in land) arising out of anything done or omitted to be done before the grant of that consent.

For the purposes of this section, expenditure incurred in the preparation of plans for the purposes of any works, or upon other similar matters preparatory to any works, shall be taken to be included in the expenditure incurred in carrying out those works.
