Overview
An Environmental Statement ES is being prepared. The chapters are at varying stages of preparation and do not yet represent a full environmental assessment of the scheme. The draft application documents which formed part of the Stage 1 Consultation Proposal are available via the Documents page of this website.
Following the Stage 1 Consultation, a scheme review was undertaken and as a result of that exercise, and comments received during the consultation, the proposals have evolved. Work is ongoing to prepare updated information to hold a Stage 2 Consultation in the Summer of 2025 with the submission of the DCO following before the end of 2025.
If you have any questions, please take a look at the Frequently Asked Questions provided on this website. Alternatively, see the Contact page for ways to get in touch now.
