Written responses were requested by 8th July 2011.
Public Events
In order to facilitate a two way flow of information and comment on the applications and to record and take account of the issues raised, we held a number of public events in May and July 2011.
The programme was set out in the Statement of Community Consultation.
Public Consultation Days
A series of three public consultation days were held in Kings Cliffe, Collyweston and Woodnewton.

This took place on Saturday 23 July 2011. Below are downloadable copies of the presentations:
A summary of each workshop session is presented in the following document: Summary of workshop discussions
In addition, engineering open days were held in September where members of the public could see how the site is constructed. The presentation for the visit is available here.
