(1)

In assessing the compensation to be paid by the acquiring authority under this Act regard shall be had not only to the extent (if any) to which the value of the land over which the right is acquired is depreciated by the acquisition but also to the damage (if any) to be sustained by the owner of the land by reason of injurious affection of other land of the owner by the exercise of the right.

(2)

(a)

for “land is acquired or taken” there shall be substituted “ a right over land is acquired ”; and

(b)

for “acquired or taken from him” there shall be substituted “ over which the right is exercisable ”.”
