An item of nationally significant infrastructure expenditure that is capitalised in a financial year in any circumstances described in paragraph (1) or regulation 33(1) —

is subject only to depreciation, impairment loss and disposal; and

(b)

must not be subsequently adjusted by an increase in any later financial year except on a reversal of impairment loss.

an adjustment in a financial year to any item of nationally significant infrastructure expenditure that is capitalised in the same financial year;

(b)

a downward adjustment in a financial year to any item of nationally significant infrastructure expenditure that is capitalised in an earlier financial year.
