The landowner sought compensation under the 1989 Act after being required to grant a wayleave to the defendants. The court was asked whether a claim could properly include compensation for loss of profits or whether such damages would be too remote.
Held: Where the compensation already included a sum for the diminution in value of the land, it would be too remote to award also separate compensation for loss of profit from disturbance.
