# The Town and Country Planning (Compensation and Certificates) Regulations 1974, Regulation 6: Determination of compensation


(1) Unless the claim is withdrawn, and subject to any modification made or having effect under section 155 of the Act, the Secretary of State shall cause such investigations to be made and such steps to be taken as he may deem requisite for a proper determination of the claim.
(2) The Secretary of State shall as soon as practicable thereafter cause to be prepared findings as to the amount (if any) which he determines as the amount of the compensation to be paid under the Act in respect of the said claim, and (except in a case where he determines that no compensation shall be paid in respect of the said claim, in which case the findings shall state such determination and the reason therefor) such findings shall state the depreciation in value of the claimant's interest and the amounts of the unexpended balances of established development value by reference to which the Secretary of State determines the amount of the compensation to be paid in respect of the said claim.
(3) Where the claimant has failed to furnish any particulars or evidence required by the Secretary of State under regulation 5 of these regulations, the Secretary of State may defer the determination of the claim until after such particulars and evidence have been duly furnished, or if he at any time thinks fit may determine the claim notwithstanding such failure, and in so doing may disregard any particulars already supplied by the claimant to which such requirement had reference.
(4) The Secretary of State shall give notice of his findings to the claimant, and to every other person (if any) who has made and not withdrawn a claim for compensation in respect of the same planning decision, and, in a case where the findings include an apportionment, the Secretary of State shall give particulars of such apportionment to any other person entitled to an interest in land which it appears to the Secretary of State is substantially affected by the apportionment.
