How much could I receive?

The compensation you can claim if you win your legal claim will depend on the type of loss you have suffered and a number of other factors. For example, we estimate that:

If you have suffered a reduction in your property value as a result of the pollution of the river Wye, Lugg or Usk catchments, you may receive a percentage of your property value.

If you have suffered substantial business losses as a result of pollution of the Wye, Lugg or Usk catchments, you may receive a significant amount that relates to the profits your business has lost over the period.

If you have suffered significant discomfort from living close to an intensive poultry unit, a combined sewer overflow or a wastewater treatment plant, you may be entitled to compensation. This applies to claims of private nuisance by odour and insects resulting from proximity to these sites.

If you have suffered particular discomfort owing to the restriction of your riverside hobby, you may receive thousands in compensation. We will consider throughout the claim any additional losses you may have suffered as a result of the pollution of the Wye, Lugg and Usk catchments, and will keep you updated if there are any changes.
