Dear Mr Picton,
Thank you for your email of 20 January 2015.

Section 57 of the Planning Act 2008 defines Category 3 as follows:

(a) as a result of the implementing of the order,
(b) as a result of the order having been implemented, or
(c) as a result of use of the land once the order has been implemented,
to make a relevant claim.
This is subject to subsection (5).
