What happens now? Submitted on 23 Jan 2008
Following Public Consultation (March – May 2007) of
the Options we will consider all comments and prepare a report
detailing the findings of the public consultation. This will
inform the Secretary of State when reaching a decision on
the Preferred Route. Our report will be published later this
year.
We aim to publish the Preferred Route Announcement at the
end of 2007. Once the Preferred Route has been announced further
detailed studies will be completed. We will then publish an
Environmental Statement and Draft Orders. These will provide
more details on the selected option and a further opportunity
for comments to be made.
