1 December 2015 Dear Ms Birch Assurance relating to Petitions 834 & AP3: 8 against the High Speed Rail (London – West Midlands) Bill I am the Director of Hybrid Bill Delivery at HS2 Ltd, which is acting on behalf of the Secretary of State for Transport, the Promoter of the High Speed Rail (London – West Midlands) Bill (‘the Bill’) currently before Parliament. I understand that you have a number of concerns about the impact of Phase One of HS2 (known as ‘the Proposed Scheme’) and have submitted a petition on that basis. I am writing to you on behalf of the Secretary of State for Transport to set out an assurance for occupiers of Nos. 6 to 24 Park Village East (including Nash House), that the Secretary of State is willing to give in order to address concerns about the works to construct the Park Village East barrette retaining wall. I can now, on behalf of the Secretary of State, offer the following assurance: “In this assurance:
”the Nominated Undertaker” refers to the body or bodies appointed by the Secretary of State to carry out the powers conferred under the Bill to construct and maintain the Proposed Scheme. The Nominated Undertaker may be HS2 Ltd, or it may be another body or bodies appointed to oversee the construction and operation of Phase One. 1. The Supplementary Environmental Statement 2 and Additional Provision 3
Environmental Statement reports that vehicular access could be restricted for up to 12 months to individual properties along Park Village East as a result of works to construct the barrette wall. During the period that the barrette wall work does prevent direct vehicular access to the front of Nos. 6 – 24 Park Village East (outlined in blue on the attached map), the Nominated Undertaker will treat occupiers of the properties as being eligible for temporary rehousing, by reason of the combined extent and duration of restricted vehicular access, using the same temporary rehousing arrangements as are described in Appendix B of HS2 Information Paper E23, Control of Construction Noise and Vibration, for as long as such direct access is

prevented to the occupiers’ property. The Nominated Undertaker will provide a 6 month notice period to the occupiers of the identified properties in advance of the temporary rehousing period commencing. For the avoidance of doubt, this assurance will not affect the eligibility of occupiers of the property to seek temporary rehousing at other times during the construction works pursuant to the measures set out in HS2 Information Paper E23, Control of Construction Noise and Vibration and the Code of Construction Practice. This assurance and the mitigation it provides is subject to the agreement of the occupier that the provision of the temporary rehousing will be taken into account in dealing with any claim for compensation and the calculation of any such claim."
While the exact date for commencement of the temporary rehousing for the identified properties would be confirmed at least six months prior to the rehousing taking place, it is currently anticipated that occupiers would be rehoused from early 2019. This assurance will be included in the Register of Undertakings and Assurances maintained by the Secretary of State. The nominated undertaker will be contractually obliged to comply with all relevant undertakings and assurances set out in the Register. Further information on how the Promoter will ensure compliance with assurances made by HS2 Ltd is set out in Information Paper B4, Compliance with Undertakings and Assurances (a copy of which can be found at https://www.gov.uk/search?q=hsHinformation+papers). If you require further assistance, please contact Damian Cox, Petition Advisor for the Euston area, by telephone on 020 7944 8143 or by email at [email protected]. Yours sincerely
