Decision

Approval to proceed to statutory consultation without
informal consultation for all HS2 & SEALR Traffic Regulation Orders.

Approval to proceed to Statutory Consultation for the
implementation of Batch 1 (listed in report) of Traffic
Regulation Orders to support the works being currently being undertaken by HS2 and also for South East Aylesbury Link Road (SEALR).

Acknowledge the introduction of shared cycleways within the highway on South East Aylesbury Link Road (SEALR) and Stoke Mandeville Relief Road (SMRR).

Reasons for the decision

To ensure Traffic Regulation orders are implemented that are required following the agreed changes to the highway implemented by HS2 and for SEALR to ensure appropriate speed and movement orders can be implemented for safety and allow enforcement to take place.

Alternative options considered

Full scheme appraisals have been undertaken by Buckinghamshire Council and Buckinghamshire Highways throughout the HS2 design process and also the SEALR design process. This has included both the agreement on highway changes (HS2 Act Schedule 4
approvals) and planning authority approvals (HS2 Act Schedule 17 approvals). Design options have been considered at each location and the proposals are agreed to provide the best solution considering:

• highway safety.
• appropriate design standards.
• planning requirements including site constraints including land dedicated by the HS2 Act.
