I am not a private landowner, but a public body; can we claim compensation?
The compensation scheme does not extend to public bodies who are defined as:
- Government departments, authorities and other bodies to which section 6 of the National Audit Act 1983 applies;
- Bodies which receive the majority of their funding from public sources which may be examined by the Comptroller and Auditor General under section 7 of the National Audit Act 1983; and,
- Local authorities and other public authorities and bodies that are required to be audited under section 2 of the Audit Commission Act 1998.
