Consultation

Our second phase of consultation ran from Thursday 30th November 2023 to Thursday 8th February 2024.

We are now considering the feedback you gave us during the consultation to develop our proposals further. Additionally, we are continuing to engage with relevant groups and stakeholders, and undertake environmental assessments ahead of the submitting the DCO Application, anticipated for Summer 2024.

We wanted to hear your comments and ideas on topics such as:

• Our updated proposals, including the site layout and cable routes.
• The information presented in our Preliminary Environmental Information Report (PEIR).
• Our proposed environmental enhancement measures to deliver benefits, such as biodiversity net gain and new recreational connectivity across the site.
• Our proposed mitigation measures to minimise or avoid the potential impacts on the environment and local communities.
