Consultation description

We’re looking for comments on the environmental statement for the high speed rail route for HS2 Phase One.

This consultation is required by parliamentary rules to allow members of the public and other interested parties to comment on the environmental statement which accompanies the HS2 Phase One hybrid Bill.

The HS2 Phase One environmental statement includes:

• likely significant environmental impacts along the route
• measures to manage and reduce these

Consultation responses will be summarised by an independent assessor appointed by Parliament and used to inform the House of Commons’ debate on the scheme at Second Reading.

A draft version of the environmental statement was consulted on from May to July 2013. Comments received during this consultation have informed the final environmental statement.
