  • HS2 Petition in the House of Lords for Ruislip Residents Association
    Ruislip Residents’ Association Petition in the House of Lords Against the High Speed Rail (London – West Midlands Bill) To the House of Lords Session 2015–16 PETITION against the High Speed Rail (London – West Midlands) Bill THE PETITION OF RUISLIP RESIDENTS’ ASSOCIATION Declares that: 1. The petitioners are specially and directly adversely affected by the whole Bill. 2. Your petitioners Your petitioners are the Ruislip Residents’ Association, founded in 1919 as a non- political organization to represent the community of Ruislip, in the county of Middlesex. Your petitioners have a subscribed membership of over 3,000 households in Ruislip. Your petitioners have taken every opportunity to engage with HS2 Ltd and have been active members of the South Ruislip to Ickenham Community Forum. Your petitioners also petitioned against the Bill in the House of Commons. 3. Your petitioners’ concerns 3.1 Extending the Old Oak Common / Ruislip Tunnel Your petitioners are aware that the Old Oak Common / Ruislip tunnel, as planned, ends at Ruislip Public Golf Course, and the route then continues overland, across the Colne Valley Regional Park to another tunnel under the M25. This will involve damaging Ruislip Public Golf Course, building a tunnel portal directly behind a residential street, bridging the River Pinn and an important local road, Breakspear Road South, demolition of several houses and part of the MSD Animal Health labs, one of the local employers, and may cause disruption to the Chiltern Line. At the time of petitioning the House of Commons there was a requirement to provide provision for junctions to and from the Heathrow Spur on this section of the line and these junctions were one of the major reasons HS2 Ltd gave for not extending the tunnel, claiming that building underground junctions would be unnecessarily expensive.

  • 5. Key Environmental Issues
    RAF Uxbridge, LB Hillingdon Environmental Statement, Scoping Report 5. KEY ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES 5.1 The key environmental effects of the proposed development are considered below. Circular 2/99 (paragraph 82) recommends that the role of EIA is to examine “the ‘main’ or ‘significant’ effects to which a development is likely to give rise”. The purpose of scoping is to determine, from a review of all possible effects, those that are likely to be significant and to ensure that resources and time are focussed on an examination of only those effects that are likely to give rise to significant effects. Schedule 4 of the EIA Regulations provides guidance by listing the elements of the environment which might be affected by the development including: population; fauna; flora; soil; water; air; climatic factors; material assets; landscape and the inter – relationship between them. 5.2 Having regard to the above, and following consideration of the potential effects likely to arise from the propose development, the environmental issues to be considered in the ES have been categorised under the following headings: Human Beings; Transport; Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions; Noise and Vibration; Soils, Geology and Ground Contamination; Water Resources; Ecology; Landscape, Townscape and Visual; Archaeology and Cultural Heritage; and Waste Management 5.3 This section provides the following information under each of the above headings: Summary of the existing environment; Preliminary identification of effects; and Breakdown of the proposed EIA methodology. Human Beings 5.4 This section provides a preliminary assessment of the baseline socio-economic conditions and predicted changes. The findings are set out below.
