who, at the time when it was first served, had an estate in [or occupied] the
land to which it relates shall, in any of the circumstances mentioned in
paragraph (2), be entitled to be compensated by the Ministry in respect of any
loss or damage suffered by him which is directly attributable to the

(2) A person shall be entitled to compensation under paragraph (1) in respect
of a prohibition contained in a stop notice in any of the following
circumstances

[(a)the enforcement notice is quashed;

(b)the enforcement notice is varied so that the matters alleged to constitute
a breach of planning control cease to include one or more of the activities
prohibited by the stop notice]

(c)the enforcement notice is withdrawn by the Ministry otherwise than in
consequence of the grant of planning permission for the development to which
the notice relates or for its retention or continuance without compliance with
a condition or limitation subject to which a previous planning permission was
granted;

the prohibition or of any liability arising by virtue of Article 45(8).

[(5A) In the assessment of compensation under this Article, account shall be
taken of the extent (if any) to which the claimant's entitlement is
