Dear Mr Lewis,
Thank you for drawing this letter to my attention.
I have spoken to colleagues who have clarified that only land parcel 4a has changed and this has been removedfrom surface safeguarding and placed in the Extended Homeowner Protection Zone (2). I have attached theupdated safeguarding map that shows your property on it.
I should clarify that safeguarding is a planning tool to protect land needed to build and operate infrastructureprojects from possible conflicting development. In addition, we have not safeguarded some areas identified in theBill such as access roads and works to existing utilities as these are deemed to have sufficient existingprotections. It is the Bill that sets out what land is required and what works will take place on them, and removal ofland from safeguarding does not mean removal of land from the Bill. To be clear, there is land you own that iswithin Bill limits, which is required for the HS2 scheme.
Thank you also for letting me know about your conversation with the Enquiries team. I have spoken to that team toinform them of your concerns and explain your circumstances so that they can tailor their message for any futureenquiries from people in a similar position. I have also provided them with a link to the most up to date Bill plans,which can be found online at:

Dear Sir or Madam
I am writing to you because your property is affected by changes in the plans for the HS2 railway.This letter explains what this means for you.
What do the changes mean?
As the railway moves to a more detailed stage of design, the Secretary of State for Transport hasrevised safeguarding directions for HS2 in your area. As a result of these revisions, your propertyis no longer in the surface safeguarding area. This change has been made because we will notneed to use your land for HS2, and it means your local planning authority need not refer planningapplications concerning this land to HS2 Ltd.
What does this mean for me?
As you were previously in a safeguarded area, your property is in the Extended HomeownerProtection Zone (2), which means you can still ask the Government to purchase your property, ifyou wish to do so.
To apply to have your property purchased by the Government under the statutory terms, youmust submit a Blight Notice by ~5 August 202~. If your property is eligible for purchase by theGovernment, you will receive its full, unblighted market value (its value as if HS2 had never beenannounced), as well as reasonable moving costs such as legal fees and stamp duty on areplacement property. You may also be eligible for a home loss payment of up to £53,000.
