HS2 Design Principles
8
1. Integrated noise protection and visual screening2. Further screen planting to supplement earthworks and fit with local landscape3. An earthworks solution removes the need for a fence type noise barrier (cutting costs + maintenance burden)4. Land returned to agriculture up to the railway (opportunity to improve agricultural land)5. This earthworks solution minimises the width of the rail corridor6. Protection of environmental features (e.g. ecology, heritage, landscape)7. Boundary fence visually concealed behind the earthworks8. The majority of the original land take is handed back for productive use
