Our targeted consultation has now closed. Thank you to all those who took part.

Since our stage two consultation, held between 24 April and 8 June 2025, we have been reviewing the feedback received and carrying out surveys and assessments to help inform our Scheme design. As a result of these surveys and design refinements, together with the feedback received during our stage two consultation, we have made a number of localised changes to the Scheme design. Our targeted consultation was on these changes.

Thank you to all those who took part. All comments will be considered alongside the feedback received during our stage two consultation as we prepare our Development Consent Order Application.

We held a series of in-person events at publicly accessible venues where you were able to view and discuss our more detailed plans for Meridian Solar with members of the project team. We also uploaded two online information presentations which provided an overview of the proposals and summarised and provided a response to the most commonly asked questions we received throughout the consultation period. Both videos are available on the Documents page.

We also created a virtual consultation room where you could view our proposals online.

We would like to thank everyone who took part in this consultation and provided feedback. The feedback received, along with our ongoing engagement with local authorities, parish councils and other interested parties, including statutory consultees, has helped to shape our more detailed proposals that we are presenting as part of this stage two consultation.

If you would like to read more about the key themes that were raised during our stage one consultation and how we have been working to address and incorporate the comments into our design, see our Consultation Information Booklet, which can be found in the Documents page.
