Public Consultation

As part of our planning process, it is a requirement that we hold a public consultation in order to ensure all information regarding the project and the build process is understood by the public. As with any large project, feedback from the wider community is essential to its success. These consultations are usually held in a public space, with face to face presentations. However, in light of the pandemic and the current restrictions, we are running an initial consultation online through the format below to give everyone the opportunity to have their say. Once the restrictions have lifted, we plan to schedule an in-person event to give a more interactive presentation.

See our leaflet sent out to local residents to the right (click to open pdf).
