a
twelve months after the date of the grant of those rights;
b
where an appeal is made against a remediation notice in respect of which the rights in question have been granted, and the notice is of no effect by virtue of regulation 12, twelve months after the date of the final determination or abandonment of the appeal; or
c
six months after the date on which the rights were first exercised.
Manner of making an application3

An application must be made in writing and delivered at, or sent by pre-paid post to, the last known address for correspondence of the appropriate person to whom the rights were granted.
2
The application must contain, or be accompanied by,—

Subject to paragraph 5(3) and (5)(b), compensation is payable under section 78G(5) for loss and damage of the following descriptions—

i
is attributable to the grant of the rights or the exercise of them,

Basis on which compensation assessed5
1
The following provisions have effect for the purpose of assessing the amount to be paid by way of compensation under section 78G(5).
2
The rules set out in section 5 M2 of the 1961 Act (rules for assessing compensation) have effect, so far as applicable and subject to any necessary modifications, for the purpose of assessing any such compensation as they have effect for the purpose of assessing compensation for the compulsory acquisition of an interest in land.
3
No account is to be taken of any enhancement of the value of any interest in land, by reason of any building erected, work done or improvement or alteration made on any land in which the grantor is, or was at the time of erection, doing or making, directly or indirectly concerned, if the F3Upper Tribunal is satisfied that the erection of the building, the doing of the work, the making of the improvement or the alteration was not reasonably necessary and was undertaken with a view to obtaining compensation or increased compensation.
4
In calculating the amount of any loss under paragraph 4(e), expenditure incurred in the preparation of plans or on other similar preparatory matters will be taken into account.
5
Where the interest in respect of which compensation is to be assessed is subject to a mortgage—
a
the compensation will be assessed as if the interest were not subject to the mortgage; and

no compensation is payable in respect of the interest of the mortgagee (as distinct from the interest which is subject to the mortgage).
6
Compensation under section 78G(5) must include an amount equal to the grantor's reasonable valuation and legal expenses.
Payment of compensation and determination of disputes6
1
Compensation payable under section 78G(5) in respect of an interest which is subject to a mortgage must be paid to the mortgagee or, if there is more than one mortgagee, to the first mortgagee and must, in either case, be applied as if it were proceeds of sale.
2
Amounts of compensation determined under this Schedule are payable—
a
where the appropriate person and the grantor or mortgagee agree that a single payment is to be made on a specified date, on that date;
b
where the appropriate person and the grantor or mortgagee agree that payment is to be made in instalments on different dates, on the date agreed as regards each instalment; and
