Environmental Policy and Objectives

Environmental Statement

Crossrail received Royal Assent under the Crossrail Act 2008. The Act was accompanied by an Environmental Statement (ES). It comprises a main ES which was submitted alongside the Crossrail Bill in February 2005 and a number of additional volumes which were published between May 2005 and May 2007.

The Crossrail ES was supported by a series of Specialist Technical Reports.
