Statutory consultation
This consultation process has been designed to provide transparent information about the project and to encourage your feedback on the emerging proposals which have been informed by feedback received at our informal early consultation. The statutory consultation is a formal requirement for NSIPs and offers a vital opportunity for community input in shaping the final proposal submitted to the Planning Inspectorate.
Please view our consultation materials on the document library here.
We encourage feedback on all aspects of the project, but your local insight on the following areas would be especially valuable in helping refine the design:
• The overall proposals for Steeple Renewables Project
• The updated site plan for the land under consideration
• Measures proposed to avoid or minimise impacts identified in our preliminary environmental assessments
• Whilst outside of the considerations for the DCO application, our proposals for community benefits and LEDS.
Our statutory consultation will run from Monday 20 January until 11:59pm on Monday 03 March 2025.
