Answer
HS2 aims to avoid residential areas but HS2 Ltd does not categorise the different types of residential areas that lie along its route.
HS2 will act as a catalyst for growth and regeneration in and around the major cities it connects, creating opportunities to develop new homes in close proximity to station sites.
