If—
a
immediately before the coming into force of section 6 of this Act, a person is the holder of a licence under Chapter 2 of Part 2 of the WRA to abstract water, and

c
that following the coming into force of any such provision he does require such a licence in respect of it, and
d

c
has suffered loss or damage as a result of—
i
those activities having been prohibited,
ii
a licence not having been granted, or
iii
those activities having been restricted.
6
