HS2 in Warwickshire

PROPERTY, LAND AND BUSINESSES AFFECTED BY HS2

If your home is very near to the HS2 route and is affected by the construction or operation of the railway line you may be able to apply for one of the assistance schemes.  Visit this page to read about all of the schemes available.  You may also be able to sell your property or small business to the government if it has been blighted by the new line.  Visit this page to read further information.  

HS2 Ltd will seek regular engagement with all farmers, landowners and rural business owners on the route.  They will want to meet with you to discuss:

• information about the project and the proposed design;
• detailed proposals for temporary and permanent accommodation works;
• land restoration and aftercare; and
• the impact on additional activities, such as fishing and sporting rights, and how best to protect them.

The HS2 guide giving their approach to engagement with farmers and growers is available to download here.  

COMMUNITY AND LOCAL ECONOMY FUNDING

There are two funding streams which are still open for applications.  The first is the Community and Environment Fund which has been created to add benefit to communities along the route that are demonstrably disrupted by the construction of Phase One of HS2.  The second fund is the Business and Local Economy Fund which will support local economies that are demonstrably disrupted by the construction of the line.   Visit this page to read how to submit an application for funding.
