wird auf den Kostenfestsetzung von 09.11.06 erwidert, dass ein Streitansatz in Höhe von EUR 80,000 als überhöht angesehen wird.
.............................. Die umstrittene Fläche ist durch die Entscheidung vom 07.07.93 völlig entwertet. Eine solche Waldfläche mit einem Wertsansatz von 80,000 zu bewerten ist nicht vertretbar.
I have translated 'entwertet' as 'devalued' but I am confused about this. Doesn't the first sentence talk about an inflated value? Can 'entwertet' mean anything here but 'devalued'? The land was an undevelopable piece of land before it was determined by B-plan as 'Waldgebiet". Should that increase it's value?

Not for points [devalued]
Just to say I agree with your original translation. Completely devalued would be fine since it does not give a precise numerical value to any notional actual value.

: Yes; but shouldn't it be "devaluated" (=entwertet) rather than "devalued" (which is only "abgewertet")?

As far as I am aware devalued is fine - see my note about 'completely'. Devaluation to me relates to currency largely.

to have no property value (publicly owned land)
in reply to the valuation claim for 80,000 EUR, submitted on 11.09.06, the latter is deemed as excessive
..............................the contested open space has no property value according to the decision handed down on 07.07.93. To value such a (publicly owned) wooded area at 80,000 EUR is not justifiable.
the valuation of this open space is voided as it has been redefined as a wooded public area
