Sustainability and the environment is a core focus for East West Rail and will underpin the planning, design, and delivery phases of the scheme. East West Rail Company and the Department for Transport are working closely with DEFRA and organisations such as Natural England and the Woodland Trust to ensure environmental considerations are woven into decision-making.
