question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether his Department has (a) identified and (b) received representations on the problems during the construction of the listed Alexandra and Ainsworth estate which led to (a) additional costs and (b) unique foundations being used to stabilise its buildings.
tabling member constituency	Hampstead and Kilburn
tabling member printed	Tulip Siddiq
uin	203358
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/12/2018 answer text <p>Yes. HS2 Ltd has identified that part of the Alexandra and Ainsworth Estate is built on piled foundations. As the planned tunnel is approximately 40m deep at this location, there is no risk of the piles intersecting the tunnel. The significant depth also means the ground movement and differential settlement at the surface is likely to be small. A Phase 1 green field ground movement assessment and a Phase 2 ground movement has been undertaken along the route. As these buildings are listed, there will also be a phase 3 assessment, which will take account of the unique features of the building and its foundations.</p><p> </p><p>HS2 Ltd has received no representations on these issues.</p> answering member constituency Wealden answering member printed Ms Nusrat Ghani question first answered 21/12/2018 12:32:00 answering member 4460 label Biography information for Ms Nusrat Ghani
