Consultation and engagement

We have recently submitted a scoping request and pre-application (pre-app) to Staffordshire County Council to establish what environmental assessments we will need to undertake as part of our planning application. While we wait for their response, we are undertaking a series of baseline investigations so that we understand the current situation ahead of conducting further assessments.

We have had some very early conversations with key stakeholders and shared some initial information with members of the public at the Alrewas Show. If you were unable to attend the show but would like to view the information, please click on the links below.

We are still in the early stages of developing our planning application, with a view to submitting it at some point next year (2025). We will run a full public consultation later in the autumn once we have sufficient information following the investigations and the studies that we need to complete.
