Non statutory consultation on our proposals
Stakeholder feedback is crucial to help us develop the project.
Our public consultation, which ran between Thursday 21 April and Thursday 16 June 2022, is now closed.
During this non statutory consultation, we held 12 consultation events where people were able to speak with the project team, ask questions and provide feedback. We also held 12 online webinars throughout the consultation, some providing an overview of the project and others focused on specific sections of the preferred corridor, and giving the opportunity to ask questions direct to the project team.
We are now carefully analysing the feedback from local communities as we develop our plans further for East Anglia GREEN. We will explain how we have taken feedback into account within our consultation feedback report, which will accompany our DCO application.

They are determined by the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS), not by a local planning authority, who remain an important consultee in the process.

Consultation to support our DCO application is planned to take place over two stages this year and next. This first stage of public consultation is being held at an early stage of development to introduce the project and ensure we capture the views and knowledge of local people before developing our plans further.
