Community Engagement

We have been working with landholders and the community right across the north west since 2019 through individual meetings, community drop-in sessions and workshops, webinars, focus groups and surveys as well as through working with our Stakeholder Liaison Group and Youth Panel.

The feedback we have gathered has been vital in helping us to understand what is important to the local community and what needs to be considered to achieve the best outcomes for the environment, landholders, businesses and the wider community as planning for the project continues.

Through consultation with landholders we have been able to refine the project’s technical design for better placement of transmission towers, reduce overall tower numbers and in many cases reduce the existing easement width.
