HS2 are pleased to see in the Issues and Options consultation for the South Warwickshire Local Plan that both districts acknowledge the HS2 Line of route and associated safeguarding. This is specifically mentioned in Issue I4 discussing Infrastructure Safeguarding. By doing so this follows our published guidance in preparing local plans (Safeguarding directions guidance notes for LPAs). From our records we can see we have been consulted on the Local Plan before in which we issued a no comment response. In regards to this stage of the consultation HS2 again has no comments but would like to be notified of any sites/land which might affect the safeguarding of the HS2 line of route and be kept up to date with the progression of the South Warwickshire Local Plan. Many thanks for keeping us up to date with the progress so far.
