Adjustment for current use value reflecting new development

2 (1) Where on or after 6th April 1967 a project of material development is begun and in accordance with paragraph 1(3) above account is to be taken of the relevant planning permission so as to increase the current use value of any land, then in computing a gain accruing on any subsequent disposal by the owner of the land—

(a) the owner of the land shall be deemed at the time when the project of material development was begun to have incurred expenditure in respect of that land of an amount equal to that increase in current use value, being expenditure allowable as a deduction under paragraph 4(1)(b) of Schedule 6 to the [1965 c. 25.] Finance Act 1965, and

(b) the proviso to subsection (1) of the principal section shall not have effect.

(2) If the planning permission so taken into account affects part only of the land, the expenditure shall be deemed to have been incurred exclusively in respect of that part.
