that in no way negates the need to follow the normal planning

process.
For info, I believe the application under discussion can be found on
London Borough of Hillingdon's planning webpage by searching for
planning application reference

66712/APP/2010/103http://www.hillingdon.gov.uk/index.jsp?articleid=10058
Its location is Northolt Junction Civic Way Ruislip and it proposes
"Track and junction improvements involving widening the existing up
line embankment for 1.2km; stabilising the existing embankment;
laying
a second track South of existing up main line; provision of new
junctions; replacing the existing single track bridge over Civic Way
with a double track bridge; infilling redundant under bridge and
ancillary works."
Documents including a planning statement and plans are included with
the application.


Page 5 of the attached provides diagrams of the current and proposed
layouts:

This states that HS2 will not go through Northolt Junction.

But it is planned for the almost disused line that heads straight from Old
Oak to Northolt Junction, and under which the dive-under dives.

So where does HS2 deviate if it really doesn't go to Northolt Junction?
