On this page you can find all the materials we have produced for historic consultations on North Humber to High Marnham, including the information published as part of our non-statutory consultation in 2023, localised non-statutory consultation in 2024 and statutory consultation in 2025.

 

    In this section you can view the key documents published as part of our statutory consultation. We encourage you to provide feedback after reading our Project background document, which outlines our proposals and early environmental studies. More detailed information, including preliminary environmental information, can be found using the menu at the side of the page.

    A printable copy of the Feedback questionnaire is available to download from this page. You can also submit your feedback online.
