"Section 46-45-70. (A) This section shall be known as the Neighborhood Security Section and for purposes of this section, the definitions set out in 47-20-10 will apply.
(B) The General Assembly recognizes the paramount right of citizens to be safe in their homes and neighborhoods. Threats to personal safety, health, and security frequently result from incompatible development in neighborhoods. It is the intent of the General Assembly to maintain the rights of citizens to be safe and secure in their homes and neighborhoods. South Carolina recognizes that when property owners are not safe and secure in their homes, property values decrease. It is the intent of this Act to give property owners a means to protect the safety and security of homes and neighborhoods by creating a private cause of action against harmful development which occurs as a result a mediation agreement or
(C) Persons or corporations to whom development orders are issued shall be responsible for ensuring that no improvements of actions occur on the property for which the development order is issued which could harm property owners in adjoining neighborhoods. If the property owner in an adjoining neighborhood has reason to believe that a reduction in the fair market value of his property has occurred as a result of a development issued under the requirements of Section 47-20-10 of the 1976 Code, as amended, the property owner shall have a cause of action against the developer to whom the development order is issued. The burden of showing no diminution in value is on the person receiving the development permit under the requirements of Section 47-20-10. Remedies shall include monetary compensation, court costs and attorney's fees paid to the person whose neighboring property has been harmed by the person or corporation to whom the development order is issued. Compensation shall be an amount equal to the difference between fair market value of the harmed property before and after the development order has been issued or adjusted."/
