(b) the subsequent value of the land is the amount which the land, if sold in the open market by a willing seller immediately after the said decision, might be expected to realise.
2. In determining the antecedent value and subsequent value of the land for the purposes of Rule 1—
(a) regard shall be had to—
(i) any contribution which a planning authority might have required or might require as a condition precedent to development of the land,
(ii) any restriction on the development of the land which, without conferring a right to compensation, could have been or could be imposed under any Act or under any order, regulations, rule or bye-law made under any Act,
(iii) the fact that exempted development might have been or may be carried out on the land, and
(iv) the open market value of comparable land, if any, in the vicinity of the land whose values are being determined;
(b) no account shall be taken of—
(i) any part of the value of the land attributable to subsidies or grants available from public moneys, or to any tax or rating allowances in respect of development, from which development of the land might benefit,
(ii) the special suitability or adaptability of the land for any purpose if that purpose is a purpose to which it could be applied only in pursuance of statutory powers, or for which there is no market apart from the special needs of a particular purchaser or the requirements of any statutory body as defined in Rule 5; provided that any bona fide offer for the purchase of the land which may be brought to the notice of the arbitrator shall be taken into consideration,
(iii) any increase in the value of land attributable to the use thereof or of any structure thereon in a manner which could be restrained by any court, or is contrary to law, or detrimental to the health of the inmates of the structure or to public health or safety or to the environment,
(iv) any depreciation or increase in value attributable to the land, or any land in the vicinity, being reserved for a particular purpose in a development plan,
(v) any value attributable to any unauthorised structure or unauthorised use,
(vi) (I) the existence of proposals for development of the land or any other land by a statutory body, or
(II) the possibility or probability of the land or other land becoming subject to a scheme of development undertaken by such statutory body, and
(c) all returns and assessments of capital value for taxation made or acquiesced in by the claimant may be considered.
3. (1) In assessing the possibilities, if any, for developing the land, for the purposes of determining its antecedent value, regard shall be had only to such reasonable possibilities as, having regard to all material considerations, could be judged to have existed immediately prior to the relevant decision under Part IV of the Principal Act.
(2) Material considerations for the purposes of the foregoing sub-rule shall, without prejudice to the generality thereof, include—
(a) the nature and location of the land,
(b) the likelihood or unlikelihood, as the case may be, of obtaining permission, or further permission, to develop the land in the light of the provisions of the development plan,
(c) the assumption that, if any permission to develop the land were to be granted, any conditions which might reasonably be imposed in relation to matters referred to in the Fourth Schedule (but no other conditions) would be imposed, and
(d) any permission to develop the land, not being permission for development of a kind specified in section 13 (2), already existing at the time of the relevant decision under Part IV of the Principal Act.
4. (1) In determining the subsequent value of the land in a case in which there has been a refusal of permission—
(a) it shall be assumed, subject to sub-rule (2), that, after the refusal, permission under Part IV of the Principal Act would not be granted for any development of a kind specified in section 13 (2),
(b) regard shall be had to any conditions in relation to matters referred to in the Fourth Schedule (but no other conditions) which might reasonably be imposed in the granting of permission to develop the land.
(2) In a case in which there has been a refusal of permission in relation to land in respect of which there is in force an undertaking under Part VI of the Principal Act, it shall be assumed in determining the subsequent value of the land that, after the refusal, permission under Part IV of the Principal Act would not be granted for any development other than development to which the said undertaking relates.
5. (1) In Rule 2, “statutory body” means:
(a) a Minister of the Government,
(b) the Commissioners of Public Works in Ireland,
(c) a local authority within the meaning of the Local Government Act, 1941,

THIRD SCHEDULE
Reasons for the Refusal of Permission Which Exclude Compensation
1. Development of the kind proposed on the land would be premature by reference to any one or combination of the following constraints and the period within which the constraints involved may reasonably be expected to cease—
(a) any existing deficiency in the provision of water supplies or sewerage facilities,
(b) the capacity of existing or prospective water supplies or sewerage facilities being required for prospective development as regards which a grant of a permission under Part IV of the Principal Act, an undertaking under Part VI of that Act or a notice under section 13 exists,
(c) the capacity of existing or prospective water supplies or sewerage facilities being required for the prospective development of another part of the functional area of the planning authority, as indicated in the development plan,
(d) the capacity of existing or prospective water supplies or sewerage facilities being required for any other prospective development or for any development objective, as indicated in the development plan,
(e) any existing deficiency in the road network serving the area of the proposed development, including considerations of capacity, width, alignment, or the surface or structural condition of the pavement, which would render that network, or any part of it, unsuitable to carry the increased road traffic likely to result from the development,
(f) any prospective deficiency (including the considerations specified in subparagraph (e) in the road network serving the area of the proposed development which—
(i) would arise because of the increased road traffic likely to result from that development and from prospective development as regards which a grant of permission under Part IV of the Principal Act, an undertaking under Part VI of that Act or a notice under section 13 exists, or
(ii) would arise because of the increased road traffic likely to result from that development and from any other prospective development or from any development objective, as indicated in the development plan, and
(iii) would render that road network, or any part of it, unsuitable to carry the increased road traffic likely to result from the proposed development.
2. Development of the kind proposed would be premature pending the determination by the planning authority or the road authority of a road layout for the area or any part thereof.
3. Development of the kind proposed would be premature by reference to the order of priority, if any, for development indicated in the development plan.
4. The proposed development would endanger public safety by reason of traffic hazard or obstruction of road users or otherwise.
5. The proposed development, by itself or by the precedent which the grant of permission for it would set for other relevant development, would adversely affect the use of a national road or other major road by traffic.
6. The proposed development would interfere with a view or prospect of special amenity value or special interest which it is necessary to preserve.
7. The proposed development would cause serious air pollution, water pollution, noise pollution or vibration or pollution connected with the disposal of waste.
8. In the case of development including any structure or any addition to or extension of a structure, the structure, addition or extension would—
(i) infringe an existing building line or, where none exists, a building line determined by the planning authority or by the Board,
(ii) be under a public road,
(iii) seriously injure the amenities, or depreciate the value, of property in the vicinity,
(iv) tend to create any serious traffic congestion,
(v) endanger or interfere with the safety of aircraft or the safe and efficient navigation thereof,
(vi) endanger the health or safety of persons occupying or employed in the structure or any adjoining structure, or
(vii) be prejudicial to public health.
9. The development would contravene materially a condition attached to an existing permission for development.
10. The proposed development would injure or interfere with a historic monument which stands registered in the Register of Historic Monuments under section 5 of the National Monuments (Amendment) Act, 1987, or which is situated in an archaeological area so registered.
11. The development would contravene materially a development objective indicated in the development plan for the use solely or primarily (as may be indicated in the development plan) of particular areas for particular purposes (whether residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural or otherwise).
12. Paragraph 11 shall, subject to paragraph 13, not apply in a case where a development objective for the use specified in paragraph 11 applied to the land at any time within the five years immediately prior to the date on which the relevant application was made for permission under Part IV of the Principal Act to develop the land, and the development would not have contravened materially that development objective.
13. Paragraph 12 shall not apply in a case where a person acquired his interest in the land—
(a) after the development objective referred to in paragraph 11 has come into operation, or
(b) after notice has been published,
(i) in accordance with section 21 of the Principal Act, of a proposed new development plan or of proposed variations of a development plan, or
(ii) in accordance with section 21A of the Principal Act, of a material alteration of the draft concerned,
indicating in draft the development objective referred to in paragraph 11.
14. For the purposes of paragraph 13, the onus shall be on a person to prove all relevant facts relating to his interest in the land to the satisfaction of the planning authority.
15. In this Schedule, each of the terms “road authority” and “national road” has the meaning assigned to it in the Local Government (Roads and Motorways) Act, 1974.
