We are a landowner affected by the scheme. We are in process of selling the relevant land (a former petrol station on the north side of the A2) on agreed terms to National Highways. The sale appears stalled due to lack of response from NH over the last year. We are concerned they will instead seek to use compulsory acquisition powers. Our particular concern is that the proposed works would disturb ground conditions at what is currently a safe and secure idle site. We therefore request that National Highways, as the promoter of the works, is fully responsible for assessing and dealing with any contamination that could be released as a result of its works.
