Engagement with stakeholders and the local community was an important part of the masterplanning process.
Landowners, residents, businesses and other interested parties were given opportunities to contribute their thoughts via a number of means, including digital workshops, online surveys and questionnaires and drop in events. As set out in the masterplan programme timeline, three phases of engagement were planned, the first two of which have already been completed and have informed the masterplan.
- Engagement 1 - listening and learning Completed (July 2021)
- Engagement 2 - concept masterplan Completed (October 2021)
- Engagement 3 - SPD engagement: Currently expected to be in spring 2023 (dependant on the GNLP timescale)
