The case arose out of the compulsory acquisition of a parcel of land which previously provided the sole access from the A566 to the Cheshire Lounge, a now derelict public house in the green belt adjoining junction 7 of the M56 on the southern outskirts of Manchester.
What began as a typical CPO compensation dispute, has, on review, been promoted to an important decision with numerous ramifications. There are multiple aspects for practitioners - providing guidance on the use of residual valuations vs comparables, the role of compensation surveyors and the assessment of injurious affection.

- Is the “before and after” approach always the correct one?
