The project team also conducted a comprehensive Environment Impact Assessment to look at how the plans will impact on the environment. This was submitted alongside the planning applications as an Environmental Statement. You can read the Non-technical summary or look at the detailed chapters.

In the spring of 2012 three additional planning applications, detailing a series of modifications to the project, were approved by Halton Borough Council. You can see these applications in full here.
