The NAO noted that the increase included route changes as a result of public consultation, in response to the requests of petitioners during the parliamentary process leading up to Royal Assent and the introduction of additional property compensation schemes.</p><p> </p><p>There is also the fact that detailed land cost assessments were not possible until after Royal Assent was achieved, and re-assessing land values from 2011 prices. The Government followed the correct process in terms of how it updated Parliament of the Phase One property costs.</p><p> </p><p>As reported by the NAO, HS2 Ltd has forecasted that the cost to acquire land and property for Phase One of the route would be £3,356 million.</p> answering member constituency Wealden answering member printed Ms Nusrat Ghani question first answered 07/01/2019 15:27:08 answering member 4460 label Biography information for Ms Nusrat Ghani

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/01/2019 answer text <p>In late 2018, 38 enquiry documents (36 Land Interest Questionnaires and two Confirmation Schedules) were issued to the residents of Jack Hearne House. Design and investigation works are continuing and at this stage it is not known whether this land will ultimately be needed as part of the scheme. Subject to the results of investigation works it is expected that, if needed at all, any temporary requirement for land would relate to access to undertake works on the River Misbourne and should not directly impact the residents of the flats. It is premature to establish what, if any, level of expected compensation would be payable under Schedule 16 of the High Speed Rail (London to West Midlands) Act 2017.</p> answering member constituency Wealden answering member printed Ms Nusrat Ghani question first answered 25/01/2019 13:36:49 answering member 4460 label Biography information for Ms Nusrat Ghani
