Have your say

You are welcome to answer all or only some of the questions in this feedback form, depending on the issues that are most important to you. We’d like to know if there are any other issues you think are important that we should consider and, importantly, why.

All feedback received before the deadline will be considered as we develop our proposals further. As part of our future application for development consent, we will produce a consultation report that sets out the feedback received and how we have taken it into account.

So that we can make the most of your thoughts and feedback, please give as much detail as possible in your response.
