Environmental organisations have criticised the process of assessing HS2’s environmental impacts in the wake of a dissenting report by a former member of the project’s review panel.

Labour peer Lord Tony Berkeley published a highly critical document on 5 January saying the environment had not been properly considered as part of the supposedly independent Oakervee Review into the controversial high-speed rail line and was likely to be detrimentally affected by it.
