Land Interest Questionnaires (LIQs) are an essential part of the planning process for projects like East West Rail. They help identify who owns, occupies and uses land that may be affected by the railway – and it means we can keep people fully informed about our consultations and the planning process.
We’ve sent LIQs to people who might hold an interest in land potentially affected by the railway, which are based on recent Land Registry searches. The project may affect land in different ways, for example it might be close to the railway, required for the project or impacted by the operation of the railway when constructed.
It’s important to note that receiving a LIQ does not necessarily mean we will need to acquire or use your land.
LIQ update
Following our consultation in Spring 2026 LIQs are being sent to households and landowners to complete and return to us. Where we do not receive a response, we may get in touch by phone, email, or in person to see if help is needed to complete the LIQ.
A list of questions and answers about the Land Interest Questionnaires can be found by clicking the button below.
