High Speed Rail Line – Consultation on Compensation Proposals

Sulgrave Parish Council wishes to make residents aware of the consultation being undertaken on the matter of compensation along the proposed High Speed Rail (HS2) route. The proposals include a guaranteed purchase scheme for those within 60m of the line, a voluntary purchase scheme for those within 120m and a hardship purchase scheme for those beyond – requiring various conditions.

As can be seen from the above map, the route would pass within 1400 metres of the nearest houses in Sulgrave.

It gives details of the lengths of the proposed line which would be in cutting, at ground level, on viaduct and so on, together with details of the proposed bridges.

The consultation period for the proposals closes on 31 January. HS2 project staff are manning two nearby information events – in Chipping Warden Village Hall from 1.00 pm to 8.00 pm on 9 January and in Brackley Leisure Centre from 12 noon to 8.00 pm on 16 January. If you consider the proposals are inadequate please ensure your response is lodged by 31 January.
