If my property is reduced in value due to the Gas Storage Project, will WINGAS provide compensation?
• Yes, the law provides the entitlement to claim compensation and WINGAS will proceed fully in accordance with this basis. • However, our advice is that your property is unlikely to be reduced in value due to the Gas Storage Project as the reservoir is underground. People’s perception may influence property prices and this can become an issue if the location has attention drawn to it. In any event it is unlikely there will be any immediate effect arising from the proposals and evidence is only likely to emerge over a period of a number of years. • If however you are able to produce evidence that your property has reduced in value as a result of the Deed of Grant or the designation of the Storage Authorisation Order then compensation will be paid.
