‘Where land is acquired compulsorily, compensation is assessed on the basis of a hypothetical sale in the open market. The legislation requires that hypothetical sale to be assessed on the basis of certain counter-factual assumptions; in particular assumptions about planning permission. The issue that arises on this appeal is how those assumptions mesh with the real world.’
