Amersham Vent Shaft

 

The Amerham VS is nearing completion, so current concerns relate to landscaping and wildlife. Landscaping is addressed in the Schedule 17 application (PL/22/2642/HS2), and in particular the overall plan and description. Wildlife concerns relate to the isolation of the site due to the surrounding roads; this might be mitigated by changes at the Wheilden Lane/A404 bridge.

The 2008 consultation which eventually lead to the removal of the 'spikes' (Crown of Thorns) is described here.
