Outside the built-up area the acquisition costs varied from
approximately 6.5 to 13.5 Euro. The average acquisition costs are therefore assumed to be
approximately 10 Euro per m2
. This price is the average compensation landowners receive
when the land alongside the new infrastructure remains in use for agricultural purposes.
For indirect land use claims it is not so easy to develop an appropriate evaluation of the
opportunity costs. One might be tempted to use the same valuation as for the direct land use
claims, but this would obviously lead to an overestimation because it might be that the
constraints imposed are not binding.
