Amendment of provisions environmental statement November 2006

The Department for Transport (DfT) has deposited a third group of Amendment of Provisions. Since the deposit of the Bill in February 2005 a number of changes to the project have been identified as a result of discussions with stakeholders and continued project development, and in response to the Select Committee's interim decisions.

Some of these changes would have the effect of extending the scope of the Bill.

Such changes to the project can be made by depositing Amendment of Provisions and in some cases require further environmental assessment work to be carried out and published.

An Amendment of Provisions Environmental Statement (AP3) is now available and contains details on:

  • Works and land for the provision of improved depot facilities at Old Oak Common Depot and the realignment of the existing railway between Old Oak Common and Ladbroke Grove
