We want your views on the design of the Little Missenden Vent Shaft Headhouse

The latest design for the Little Missenden Vent Shaft Headhouse in Buckinghamshire has been unveiled and to help shape our final design we're inviting you to have your say . The Little Missenden headhouse, which will provide ventilation and emergency access to the high-speed railway, is one of four that will be built above ventilation shafts leading down to the 10 mile-long Chilterns tunnel below.

The Little Missenden Vent Shaft Headhouse is a significant structure which we want to integrate into the landscape and reflect as much as we can the character of native trees and chalk grasslands in the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Before we begin construction, we are seeking your views on some specific details of the Little Missenden Vent Shaft Headhouse. These include:

Due to COVID-19 we are not currently able to hold face-to-face public events, but we are holding three online events to share information about the design and construction of the Little Missenden Headhouse.
