Welcome

The Action Group – What are we doing? • Local awareness has increased significantly since

the group was formed.• Dedicated website www.stophs2bramley.co.uk • We now have relationships with local media

including the Advertiser, BBC Radio Sheffield and the Sheffield Star.• Now working with other action groups, such as

Crofton, Mexborough and the Joint Rural Parish groups.• Leaflet distribution

The Action Group – What are we doing? • Planning events, such as the October

protest walk.• Challenging the data that HS2 have

published about the M18 / Eastern route by way of Freedom of Information requests.

HS2 – The Route HS2 will be delivered in three phases:•Phase 1 from London Euston to Birmingham Curzon Street and Lichfield•Phase 2a from the West Midlands to Crewe•Phase 2b (us) comprising an eastern leg from the West Midlands to Leeds New Lane with intermediate stations in the East Midlands and South Yorkshire; and a western leg from Crewe to Manchester with an intermediate station at Manchester Airport.

HS2 – The Cost

•Original cost estimate - £30bn•Estimate at 2015 prices £55.7bn•Predicted costs could now exceed £80bn

Timeline• July 2016 new route announced by HS2• Transport Secretary Chris Grayling will select the

route in the autumn (could be 23 November 2016)• If the Bramley route is chosen – public

consultation will take place for a period of between 12 and 18 months. The route could get amended during this time, subject to objections, as was the case with Meadowhall.

Timeline• If it goes ahead, HS2 will set up the

safeguarded zone• Construction is planned to start around

2025• Line is planned to open in 2033• Significant period of time (years) where

residents would be in limbo, not knowing whether their property would be required for construction.

The Route in South Yorkshire

The Route in South Yorkshire• The route broadly follows the line of the M1

north from Chesterfield.• A viaduct would take HS2 trains over the existing

railway on the Sheffield to Lincoln Line, over Pigeon Brook Bridge floodplain near developments at Waleswood and over the A57 Aston Bypass before reaching the major M1 motorway exit at Junction 31 at Aston.• The line would run straight through the riding

stables in Aston.

The Route in South Yorkshire• Passing through fields and the wind farm at Ulley,

the HS2 line would then switch to follow the route of the M18 motorway, with a viaduct over the M1 and Wood Lane, taking it close to Thurcroft.• Running immediately to the West of the M18 the

HS2 route would pass through the bottom of the Broadlands estate in Bramley before crossing under the road at Junction 1 of the M18 next to the Hellaby roundabout.

The Route in South Yorkshire• The HS2 route would then split from the M18

passing Braithwell and Firsby Resevoir before crossing under the A630 between Hooton Roberts and Conisbrough.• The route then heads out toward the

Dearne Valley and Mexborough as it heads North West on to Leeds

Safeguarding – what is it?• This is an area of land either side of the track, usually

covering an area of approx. 60 meters. • All property and land that is within the safeguarded

area is subject to planning restrictions. In other words, HS2 have control over any planning applications made. • Safeguarded areas have varied in size on Phase One

What if my property is within the zone?• The only scheme that is currently available for

residents is the Exceptional Hardship Scheme.• Other schemes will only be announced if Phase2 b

(our route) is approved.

Phase One Schemes1.Compulsory purchase – your property could be compulsory purchased if HS2 require the property for construction purposes. The current scheme is based on market value plus 10%.2.Blight Notice - You can serve a Blight Notice on the government, who will then purchase the property at market value, plus 10%. Once your Blight Notice has been accepted by the Secretary of State, you can ask HS2 to note your interest in renting your property back from the Government.

Phase One Schemes•Homeowner Payment Scheme – This scheme covers properties within the following areas and pays a one off compensation payment but only after Royal Ascent has been given:•Distance from lineHomeowner Payment•120 - 180 m Cash payment £22500•180 - 240 m Cash payment £15000•240 - 300 m Cash payment £7500

Schemes for Phase 2b, if it ever get’s approved, could be far worse than

these?

Demolitions or Rental?•HS2 are working with Savilles Estate

Agency• Compulsory purchase or demolish?• Leave the houses next to the track that

have been purchased and then rent them out to anyone willing to pay the subsidised rental?•We believe that this is what HS2 may be
