Environmental Statement
HS2 released the Environmental Statement as part of the preparation for the Hybrid Bill. Interested parties were invited to comment on the 50,000 line multi-volume 'document' covering different aspects and different areas. Parts were revised when 'Additonal Provisions' (APs) were introduced, each being accompanied by a Supplementary Environmental Statement.
Now comes the difficult bit - ensuring HS2 abide by their promises.

8.1.1 - Conclusion
"A great deal of consideration has been given to the comments received and to how these could be addressed; whether through the ES, the draft CoCP or through design development.
For engineering, environmental or cost reasons it has not been possible to take on board all comments raised."
