Upcoming consultation events and webinars

Throughout the consultation we held a series of public information events. Our events were held at the locations across the eastern corridor. Information about our proposals was displayed and copies of maps and technical documents were made available to view. Members of the project team were available to talk through our proposals and answer any questions.

We invited you to attend our online webinar sessions, where we presented details of our proposals followed by an open question and answer session.

Next steps

North Humber to High Marnham is classified as a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project under the Planning Act 2008.  We will, therefore, submit an application for a Development Consent Order (DCO) to the Planning Inspectorate. After considering the DCO application, the Planning Inspectorate will make a recommendation to the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, who, in turn, will then decide whether development consent should be granted for the project. 

We haven’t decided on the preferred corridor in this southern most section of the route and further assessment work has to be undertaken before we will be able to identify the overall preferred alignment of the project. Feedback from both the Stage 1 (non-statutory) consultation (2023) and localised (non-statutory) consultation (2024), together with further technical assessments including environmental surveys, will be considered when deciding on the overall preferred corridor. We will seek everyone’s views about more detailed proposals at our Stage 2 (statutory) consultation in 2025.   

We are now reviewing the feedback received during this consultation to help us develop more detailed proposals that will be shared at our next public consultation in 2025. These proposals will also be informed by further survey and assessment work we are undertaking.
