86 Compensation for loss or damage caused by temporary listing

(1) This section applies where temporary listing ends in relation to a building—

(a) at the end of the 6-month period mentioned in section 85(1), or

(2) Any person who had an interest in the building when the temporary listing took effect is entitled, on making a claim to the planning authority in whose area the building is situated, to be paid compensation by the authority for any loss or damage suffered by the person that is directly attributable to the temporary listing.

(3) The loss or damage for which compensation is payable includes any amount payable by the claimant in respect of a breach of contract caused by the need to stop or cancel works to the building because of the temporary listing.

(4) A claim for compensation under this section must be made in writing within 6 months beginning when the temporary listing ends.
