View answerI am advised that the scheme is in stage 1 (scheme development and design). A number of site investigation surveys have been awarded and are underway, which are required in order to allow the project team to carry out the preliminary design. The Appropriate Assessment Screening has been completed.
There will be another public consultation next year when the preferred scheme has been identified, in order to engage the public updated on scheme progression. At this stage, we will also be in a position to provide a more detailed programme.
