Once the consultation has closed, we will review all the feedback provided and use this, alongside further environmental assessments, and engagement with landowners, to refine our proposals.

We intend to submit our application for Development Consent later this year, and as part of that we will set out a summary of the responses, describe how these influenced our design, in a Consultation Report.

Following the submission of our application, the Planning Inspectorate (on behalf of the Secretary of State for the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero) may examine the application and make a recommendation to the Secretary of State who will make the decision on whether or not to grant development consent.
