Money Box Live: Compensation for being affected by a big infrastructure project
Money BoxAvailable for over a year
What happens when an infrastructure project is planned to be built near your home or business, or even on the actual property itself? Major building schemes are going on across the country - the most notable in recent years being HS2, and the proposed expansion of Heathrow. But there are smaller projects too where you could qualify for recompense. So who does qualify? And how does the process work? Adam Shaw explores the rules and gets some practical tips from Jon Mowbray, a lawyer who specialises in commercial property litigation, and Angela Juszczyk, a chartered surveyor. Presenter: Adam Shaw Producer: Elisabeth Mahy Editor: Andrew Smith.
