London Southend Airport extended runway: Part 1 compensation claims
If your home lost value because of noise, vibration, fumes, smoke, smell, artificial lighting or discharge from this scheme, Part 1 of the Land Compensation Act 1973 gives you a right to claim compensation from the acquiring authority — without selling or giving up any land.

Physical factors from this scheme
A Part 1 claim must rest on one or more of the seven physical factors. These are the ones this type of works typically produces:
- Noise
- Fumes
Is your property close enough?
There is no fixed distance limit — what matters is whether the physical factors from the works reduced your property's value. In practice the strongest claims sit within a few hundred metres. Enter your postcode and we will measure it, score the claim and show the reasoning.

Who pays the professional fees
Because the authority's scheme created the loss, it is also expected to meet the reasonable surveyor and legal costs of quantifying and settling the claim, commonly by reference to Ryde's Scale. We work on a no win, no fee basis — see how fees are paid.
