Latest update
Island Green Power provides advance notice of dates or next stage of consultation on detailed proposals
Since holding an initial stage of consultation earlier this year, we have continued to shape and refine our proposals for the project in light of feedback we received during that consultation, along with the findings from our ongoing survey and environmental work.
The aim of this second (statutory) stage of consultation is to give local communities and people with an interest in the project the opportunity to find out more and provide feedback on our more detailed proposals.
This statutory consultation will run over seven weeks from Wednesday 29 January to Wednesday 19 March 2025, with in-person and online information events anticipated as running throughout February.
We will consider all the views and comments submitted to this second consultation, together with the findings from our ongoing environmental and technical assessments, to help shape the project ahead of submitting an application for development consent to the Planning Inspectorate in Autumn 2025.
How we’re consulting
Ahead of consultation launching on Wednesday 29 January 2025, in accordance with the Planning Act 2008, we will publish a Statement of Community Consultation (SoCC).
The SoCC explains how we intend to carry out statutory consultation with local communities, share information about and invite feedback on the project. The final SoCC we publish will also confirm the full programme of in-person and on-line information events we are holding over the course of the consultation.
We anticipate publishing the SoCC on Tuesday 14 January 2025, two weeks before consultation starts. From this date it will be made available to view and download from this project website and printed reference copies will be lodged at a selection of local community venues as follows:
Corsham Library
Springfield Community Campus, Beechfield Road, Corsham, Wiltshire, SN13 9DN
Melksham Library
Melksham Community Campus, Market Place, Melksham, Wiltshire, SN12 6ES
Malmesbury Library
24 Cross Hayes, Malmesbury, Wiltshire, SN16 9BG
Chippenham Library
Timber Street, Chippenham, Wiltshire, SN15 3HJ
Copies of the community consultation documents providing information about what we’re consulting on, along with reference copies of technical reports, will be available to view at these same venues from Wednesday 29 January 2025.
These documents and reports will also be available to view at in-person information events we hold, and this project website will be updated with electronic copies you can view and download.
Requests for copies of community consultation materials in print and digital format can also be made from Wednesday 29 January 2025 by contacting the community relations team at the project communications lines provided.
Next steps
We will make further information about this second stage of consultation available prior to launching in the New Year, including details of the in-person information events and online webinars we will be holding as part of this consultation.
