Details
The benefits of safeguarding are that it will reduce the risk of developers potentially making investments that subsequently cannot progress or have to be compulsorily purchased if High Speed Two (HS2) ultimately proceeds (at a cost to the taxpayer).
Compulsory purchase rules include compensation for genuine development potential so safeguarding should not lead to landowners failing to benefit from potential compensation.
