High Speed 2 through your house?

It's planned to run right through my friend's garden. He bought the house as a "doeruper" and has spent 10 years and a mint on getting it just right. His wife is a keen gardener and it shows. They've worked hard and turned it from a "Dog" into a really beautiful property (home). The initial communications indicate they'll only get compensation for the lost garden. Needless to say, they're gutted.
On the bright side, since checking the drawings again, I now see it's going the opposite side of the A42 to my house. So we won't see it and probably won't even hear it :biggrin:

I notice that in some places including Measham the A42/M42 is being moved sideways to allow the line to be squeezed the motorway and existing housing estates.
