Noise Insulation

An holistic system design is required for the Ampthill Estate high rise blocks, which does not interfere with the cladding or fire safety systems. A feasibility study was completed, which recommends a viable solution comprising an induct fan with plenum, which uses the existing ducting and trickle vents, secondary glazing and solar film. Procurement of the detailed design stage has commenced.

Ampthill

HS2’s Legal Counsel advised that the original stance on external secondary glazing still stands. If a resident chooses to seek permission for and install external secondary glazing at their own cost, HS2 will remove the offer / potential

• ffer of internal secondary glazing for the windows/doors in
• question. We will still install any internal secondary glazing (that we have

designed, proposed and sought permission for) to eligible windows.

External Secondary Glazing Independent Assessor (IA)

• We have commissioned the creation of a light touch desktop

assessment that could be applied to certain property types known to be more susceptible to heat if residents apply for consideration.

• We produced a decision paper that found that whilst LOAEL

residents may experience an adverse effect in terms of noise, the level of impact does not warrant mitigation except in special cases. It was recognised that LOAEL residents may not be aware of their classification under the E23 Policy, or of the existence of the special case procedure therefore, we have recommended a ‘push’ communications strategy to inform LOAELs of the Special Case Procedure. 7

Euston Utilities - Eversholt Street

Sites for HS2 16” slip-lining works Re-lining sites working north to south. Works to commence after TWUL decommission main.

• HS2 are working closely with Thames

Water to share the effort of water main protection works.

• HS2 will re-line the failing 16” asset in the

area of our works before we start – reducing risk of bursts and impact on the community.

• We have aligned the start of the HS2

works with the completion of Thames repair works - we will not be starting any works on Eversholt Street until a date is confirmed in the new year.

Proposed new temporary taxi rank

Agenda item 4

Hybrid Bill Design Recap

AP03 Taxi Scheme:

• Taxi pick-up, set-down and ranking facility located on

the western side of Eversholt Street adjacent to the station

• Turnaround facility provided to the north of the pick-

up facility in the site currently occupied by Royal Mail

• Ranking on Eversholt Street and Drummond

Crescent AP03 Construction Compounds

• East & West gardens to be used for construction

compounds Post AP03 considerations

• Royal Mail Group site can’t be used
• Network Rail bi-directional basement
• Maria Fidelis school relocation

AP03 Scheme AP03 Scheme Construction compound

• Concerns about air quality
• Request to reduce the number of ranking spaces
• Avoid loss of green spaces and trees
• Request to consider alternative locations
• Concerns about noise and traffic disruption on Eversholt St
• Impact on bus stops
• Conflict with other road users (cyclists/ motorcycle users)
• Consideration of impacts of private hire (eg Uber) pick up and drop off
• Impact on businesses
• Interaction with Thames Water sewer re-lining works on Eversholt St

Overall there were greater concerns over the noise and disruption of the Eversholt St

• ption.

Feedback received on interim taxi rank options

Recent work

• Community Engagement –
• Community Traffic Working Group,
• HS2inCamden Commonplace website,
• Drop-In session
• Working with TfL, LBC, Network Rail identifying

road safety considerations

• Taxi survey undertaken – analysis underway,

further discussion planned

• Traffic modelling to inform best option and bus

delay mitigations Timescales

• September 2020 – planned start
• f taxi rank construction
• March 2021 relocation

Interim taxi rank recommendation

Considerations for the recommendation of the East Gardens:

• A contained site allows for reduced impact and

disruption to road network

• Area is designated as a construction compound in

AP03 design

• Reduced conflict between users on Eversholt St
• Positioned to avoid the larger, perimeter trees
• New signalised pedestrian routes to be provided
• Comparable taxi ranking spaces to original

provision

• Accessible bays would be located away from

schools, business and community on Eversholt St

Interim taxi rank recommendation – East Gardens

Next steps :

• Fix and develop access points – understanding impacts on buses, heritage and trees
• Discuss taxi survey results to decide necessary footprint
• Develop road junction & lane changes – considering wider traffic enforcement
