As the regulator, we assess any proposed \u2018land disposal\u2019 from Network Rail. This is to ensure that any land in which Network Rail has an interest, and which may be important to the continuing operation and future development of the network, and services relating to railways, is not disposed of against the public interest.<\/p>\n

It is set out in Network Rail’s network licence (condition 17<\/a>) that the company must seek our consent for any disposal not covered by a general consent.<\/p>\n

We then consult on the proposals and decide to either grant or a refuse consent within two months of Network Rail\u2019s application.<\/p>\n

Since 2002 we have considered over 370 requests, and you can now view our decisions in our interactive map and dashboard<\/a>. This shows you location, our decision, prior use of the site and proposed development.<\/p>\n

The map will be kept updated with any future land disposal requests.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
