CPO

Question 1

Summarise Whitman’s Farm access licence

Answer 1

I prepared an access licence for claimants to cross land in HS2 possession to access their retained and severed land. I ensured the route was safe and able to be accommodated by the contractors on site.

Question 2

Summarise Thorpe Mandeville Injurious Affection Analysis

Answer 2

I assisted in an assessment for injurious affection as a result of compulsory purchase. I analysed comparable evidence to understand the pre-scheme value of the property.

Question 3

Summarise the business disturbance recommendation

Answer 3

I assessed a compensation claim for various business losses incurred as a result of HS2 compulsorily acquiring land from a railway attraction. I ensured I had sufficient evidence to support the claim, ensuring it was not too remote. I prepared a recommendation report which I submitted to my client, advising them of the compensation due to the claimant.

Question 4

Summarise cowley farm professional fees recommendation

Answer 4

I prepared a recommendation report for my client, advising them of the professional fees due to be reimbursed to the claimant as a result of work they had done on HS2 matters. I analysed the Agents timesheets, identifying time that had already been paid, or was too remote to be recommended. I contacted the Agent to provide more explanation on some entries to better understand the work they had done.

Question 5

Summarise Manor Farm RPA advice

Answer 5

I advised a claimant that their fine from the RPA was not able to be reimbursed by HS2 as it had been incurred as the claimant had not informed the RPA of the land that had been acquired by HS2, and therefore needed to be removed from the stewardship scheme.
