HS2 Phase 2b: High Speed Rail (Crewe – Manchester) Additional Provision 1
The government has deposited a proposed set of amendments to the High Speed Rail (Crewe – Manchester) Bill 2022 in Parliament.
The Additional Provision
It is common for changes to be made to proposals in a Bill, as design development and discussions with landowners, occupiers and other parties take place. The amendments proposed in Additional Provision 1 (AP1) have arisen following design refinements. The amendments affect Community Areas (MAs) MA01, MA02 and MA03. AP1 (July 2022) and the Supplementary Environmental Statement (SES1) is comprised of a number of documents which are listed and explained below.
A copy of the Additional Provision, which outlines the amendments to the powers as set out in the original Bill and AP1, is available to view on the UK Parliament website.

It also outlines the measures that are being proposed to avoid, reduce or manage these effects.
A Supplementary Environmental Statement (SES1) has also been deposited which reports changes within the powers and limits of the Bill and the likely significant environmental effects of these changes.
