Stage 2 Consultation Community Engagement (2025) – Closed 4th November 2025

The Statutory Consultation (Stage 2 consultation) ran from 23rd September 2025 until 4th November 2025. A Stage 2 Summary Consultation Report, which summaries the key themes and issues from the Stage 2 (statutory consultation) was published on this website and a link to download the document can be found on this page below.
The Documents page of this website contains the Stage 2 consultation material which includes draft plans, draft ES Chapters (preliminary environmental information), and other draft documents relating to the proposed DCO application. These documents are available as background, but are now superseded by the submitted application which is available via the PINS website here.

The proposed approach by ORL to consultation is set out in the Statement of Community Consultation (SoCC), available here and via the Documents page. A comprehensive Consultation Report forms part of the submitted application which is available on the PINS website here.
