Before submitting a formal planning application we are keen to hear the views of the community. 

As a result, we are holding a virtual consultation – with printed copies of our materials available on request – to outline our vision and receive your feedback.

You can submit your feedback through our online feedback form.

We are keen to receive feedback on our proposals and would be happy to address any queries or comments that you might have.

So that views can be recorded accurately, we are encouraging residents and other important local stakeholders to complete a feedback form, which includes the chance to have your say.
