Details
National Highways purchases land and property as needed to carry out road schemes. If the land/property is not required or the scheme is cancelled or changed, National Highways may sell the property.
National Highways can only sell land/property that is surplus to its operational requirements. This is sold in accordance with Crichel Down rules. These rules require government bodies, under certain circumstances, to offer back surplus land to the former owner or the former owner’s successors in title at current market value.
