Our team, which included legal, planning, law and tax experts, submitted very comprehensive slides to illustrate the far reaching impact of the HS2 project on farmers.
Attention was particularly given to the inadequacies of the compulsory purchase code. One set of slides even covers how the NFU HQ and the surrounding businesses on Stoneleigh Park would be affected during the construction.
