Nov 30, 2009 at 13:56 comment added Mikhail Bondarko Unfortunately, the deformation of the normal cone construction does not seem to help. Roughly, my problem is to find a 'nice' way to 'lift' 'large enough' closed subvarieties of H (this corresponds to $H\setminus (H\cap X)$ in my question) of codimension c to subvarieties of P of the same codimension. In differential geometry one can do this (for submanifolds) using tubular neighbourhoods. Andd it seems that the deformation of the normal cone increases the codimension. Yet thanks; maybe I should think about this further!

I know that it acts a lot like a tubular neighborhood in some ways, and it's rather helpful in many intersection theoretic arguments. Fulton describes it in his book "Intersection Theory"
