This is our second public consultation on our proposals for EGL 3 and EGL 4. It is called a statutory consultation because it is being carried out in line with the formal requirements of the Planning Act 2008. It follows our previous stage 1 (non-statutory) public consultation on our draft proposals which were held in Spring and Summer 2024.This stage 2 consultation will open at 12pm noon Tuesday 13 May and close at 11:59pm Monday 23 June 2025.EGL 3 and EGL 4 are projects of national significance. These types of projects require a special type of consent, known as a development consent order (DCO).Consultation is an important part of the DCO process, as it enables everyone to comment on our proposals. Feedback from our consultations – along with the outcome of technical assessments and environmental surveys – helps us to develop our proposals before we submit our DCO application to the Planning Inspectorate.
