Our non-statutory consultation ran from 10am Monday 10th March 2025 to 10am Monday 7th April 2025, and Tarchon held four public events where people could discuss their questions with the project team.

The events were held at:

• Ardleigh Village Hall, CO7 7RS, on Monday 17 March from 18:30 to 21:30
• Wix Village Hall, CO11 2RY, on Tuesday 18 March from 14:00 to 20:00
• Venture Centre 2000, Lawford, CO11 2JE, on Wednesday 19 March from 13:00 to 17:00
• Harwich and Dovercourt Golf Club, CO12 4NZ, on Thursday 20 March from 14:00 to 20:00.

All the feedback we received is being shared with the project team to help shape our proposals. A Statement of Community Consultation (SoCC), which outlines how we intend to undertake our statutory consultation with local communities, will be drafted, shared with the local planning authority for feedback and published following this non-statutory consultation. Feedback received at all phases of consultation will be included in a Consultation Report, which will be submitted as part of our DCO application.

We want to work with the community to help us shape the project and we welcome your views. Following this non-statutory consultation period, we will hold further consultations to seek your views on our more detailed proposals. Information will be published on our website and advertised locally.
