Consultation description
On 3rd July 2023, the UK Government introduced a second set of amendments to the High Speed Rail (Crewe – Manchester) Bill, known as Additional Provision 2 (AP2).
Alongside it, an Environmental Statement (AP2 ES) was produced which reports on the likely significant environmental effects of the proposed amendments, where these are new or different to those reported in the ES that accompanied the Bill. It also outlines the measures proposed to avoid, reduce or manage these effects.
In addition, a Supplementary Environmental Statement 2 (SES2) was produced, reporting on the likely significant environmental effects of changes within the existing limits and powers of the Bill.
This consultation asked for your views on these documents, which can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/hs2-phase-2b-high-speed-rail-crewe-manchester-additional-provision-2
Please note:
The High Speed Rail (Crewe-Manchester) Bill has been carried over into the next parliamentary session, following the Prime Minister’s October 2023 announcement of Network North. Priorities for this programme are being developed, and the continuation of the current Bill could deliver the first elements of Northern Powerhouse Rail, making up a part of the new line between Liverpool and Manchester. However, this report reflects the Bill scheme as it stood during the consultation period in July and August of 2023.
