Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what was the cost of tree planting as part of delivery of the new A14.

The cost of the original tree planting on the A14 (between late 2019 and early 2020, delivered under a Development Consent Order) cannot be separated from other planting and landscaping activities, and this is the standard contractual approach. The total cost of all planting and landscaping activities was £8,075,752.
