HS2 Burton Green Exhibition Pack

HS2 have produced and distributed a set of detailed plans regarding Burton Green, if the scheme ever goes ahead. There are 50 documents in the set. They include numerous maps and some spreadsheets.

The documents are, basically:

• Introductory letter
• Petitioners locations map
• Construction timeframe
• Construction traffic flows (construction traffic would not use Cromwell Lane)
• Property demolition map
• Tunnel proposals and portal maps
• Electricity feeder station details
• Village hall relocation map
• Greenway changes
• Cromwell Lane bridge
• Ancient woodland and woodland compensation maps
• Noise summary (though meaningless, as explained below)
• Property compensation zone maps

The complete set of documents can be downloaded from here:

Below are some typical documents. These are probably the most significant documents in the pack...

Anticipated Noise Levels, by day and night

This chart seems to be provided without explanation. The chart includes a column labelled Assessment Location ID, which presumably refers to a range of dwellings. The number in the cells might be decibels. It is not clear what this means...
