TfL Ref: 0360-2324

Thank you for your revised request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 30 May 2023 asking for: Please can you send me a copy of the Impact Assessment Study, Environmental Impact Result, Reports, Survey, Consultation or similar which relate in any way to the Roads and/or buildings on the route of the 484 bus in Lewisham, concerning any impact that these 484 Electric Buses could/may or have had on them.
 
Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy. 

We do not hold the information you have requested. TfL has not undertaken an impact assessment or similar for the introduction of the 484 electric bus in Lewisham in May 2021 – for information, vehicle weights are covered by legislation and the buses meet the requirements, therefore no impact assessment is required. The link to the relevant legislation is: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/road-vehicle-authorised-weight-regulations-2017-amendments/road-vehicles-authorised-weight-and-construction-and-use-amendment-regulations-2017-clarification-overview

Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal.

Yours sincerely
