HS2 Phase 2b planning forum: flooding and drainage subgroup meeting minutes
Documents
Details
The HS2 Phase 2B planning forum acts as the primary vehicle for liaison between the High Speed Two (HS2) project and local authorities along the HS2 Phase 2B route between Crewe and Manchester, the North West and Scotland on matters of cross boundary and route-wide interest.
Invitees to the Flooding and Drainage Subgroup are representatives from relevant local authorities and utility companies, Environment Agency, Scottish Environment Protection Agency, Greater Manchester Combined Authorities and HS2 Ltd.
The subgroup generally meets every 6 months with a forward programme of meetings and anticipated agenda items produced and maintained.
Currently meetings are generally held in via Teams and in locations across the route. The meetings are recorded in minutes and the meeting papers distributed to members.
Matters addressed at the forum change and evolve to reflect the development stages of the project with the forum’s terms of reference updated accordingly.
During the passage of the High Speed Rail (Crewe - Manchester) Bill through Parliament, the focus of the forum is to discuss route wide principles, standards, practices, and processes associated with Flooding and Drainage matters.
