Paragraph 4

United Kingdom

If an owner on whom such a notice is served claims that none of the land in his ownership will be increased in value for agricultural purposes by the doing of the work, or that the sum specified in the notice exceeds either of the limits mentioned in paragraph 2 of this Schedule, he may, by notice in writing served on the Minister at any time within the said three months, require his claim to be referred for determination by a single arbitrator appointed by agreement between him and the Minister, or, in default of such agreement, by the President of the Chartered Surveyors’ Institution and, if he does so, no sum shall be recoverable from him until his claim has been so determined, and—

(a)

if it is determined that none of the land in his ownership will be increased in value as aforesaid, no part of the expenses shall be recoverable from him;

(b)

if it is determined that the sum specified exceeds either of the said limits, the sum recoverable from him shall be that sum less such amount as the arbitrator may determine to be requisite in order to bring it within those limits.
