Make the most of the East West Rail opportunity with our expert legal advice and support for landowners and developers across every stage.
Construction is underway on the new East West Rail route connecting Oxford and Cambridge. The line will serve key locations including Cambourne, Tempsford, Bedford, Bletchley, Winslow and Bicester. With up to four trains per hour, it aims to bring hundreds of thousands of people within commuting distance of Cambridge and support the growth of the region’s thriving tech and bioscience industries.
The project will unlock major development potential, with up to 18 new towns planned along the line. For developers, landowners and investors, the East West Rail link presents significant opportunities in housing, infrastructure and commercial development. Tees is here to help you navigate this evolving landscape and secure long-term value.
Not everyone welcomes the scheme. Communities along the route have raised concerns about environmental harm and pressure on local services. We understand both the promise and the challenges of a development of this scale and we can help clients engage constructively with planners and stakeholders to find workable outcomes.
If your property is affected by the scheme, Tees can support you with statutory blight claims, compensation for compulsory purchase and land access issues. Our specialist team brings together expertise in planning, construction law, development agreements and agricultural land, ensuring you have the right advice, right when you need it.
Their approach is both collaborative and practical.
