E-Rail

MRC McLean Hazel advises E-Rail Ltd on the transport aspects related to the capture of land value uplift around a number of road, rail and bus projects. The method has been successfully demonstrated in Scotland, England, Northern Ireland, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

E-Rail has developed a unique process to help fund transport projects linked with development opportunities thereby delivering sustainable growth within current Local and National Government guidelines. The sums involved are significant.

There is extensive evidence to show that new transport infrastructure which improves connectivity increases land and property values around the facility. The E-Rail methodology provides a way to capture this increased value in an equitable and attractive way. The method is based on a voluntary partnership with the private sector and complies with all planning and procurement rules and regulations.
