What happens next?
After Public Consultation 2, all feedback will be reviewed and used to help finalise the Preferred Scheme. A Consultation Findings Report will be published to document the feedback received. Next steps include continued design development and option refinement, which will inform the Environmental Impact Assessment Report and Appropriate Assessment and other documentation in support of the statutory planning process for the Projects.Stakeholders will be afforded the opportunity to engage on the Projects again at this point through the statutory stakeholder engagement process.
