Green light for Chunnel terminal


The œ380 million International Channel Tunnel Freight Terminal at Hams Hall in north Warwickshire was given the final go-ahead by Environment Secretary John Gummer last week.

Gummer gave the scheme a provisional go-ahead in January provided that measures were taken to reduce the impact of traffic on the local road network. An agreement has now been reached with the developers PowerGen and Trafalgar House Business Parks.

The DoE has accepted that it is unrealistic for the freight terminal to go-ahead without the proposed freight village.
