Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

The Town and Country Planning (Compensation for Restrictions on Mineral Working) Regulations 1985 specify methods of calculating the annual value of the right to win and work minerals for the purpose of assessing compensation in certain situations where restrictions on permission for mining are imposed. The calculation includes a factor relating to the base of the Retail Price Index. The Index was rebased on 1st January 1987. These Regulations amend the factor to take account mathematically of the rebasing.
