Bosses of high speed rail link will look at new plans with a smaller footprint
HS2 Ltd is to re-examine its plans for Euston station, after an alternative design, which would avoid demolishing hundreds of homes was developed by local campaigners.
黑洞社区鈥檚 sister title that the design, developed by a group including ex-Arup planning director Peter Cuming, would avoid the demolition of 300 homes near the station.
The design is for a 鈥渄ouble deck鈥� station with a smaller footprint than the existing station and, consequently, a much smaller one than the current HS2 design.
The team called Pan-Camden HS2 Alliance, which also includes architect Jeff Travers, who worked on Liverpool Street, Ashford International and the Jubilee line, and Euston rail planner Richard Percival, is to meet with HS2 bosses next week.
Travers told BD the group鈥檚 proposal had more room for commercial development and would avoid a half-mile walk between the HS2 terminal and the Tube network.
鈥淲e鈥檙e absolutely convinced we鈥檝e got a better solution and that it works,鈥� he said.
