Additional Consultation

Additional Consultation from 1 July 2025 to 29 July 2025

Earlier this year, we held a six-week public consultation event to gather views on our initial proposals for EMG2. We received a wide range of helpful comments. A summary of key themes arising from those comments is available on the 'Downloads' tab.

Since then, we have undertaken further technical work on our proposals and used comments received to help refine them. As a result, we are proposing to make a number of changes to EMG2. Some of those changes are detailed in the newsletter available below or via the 'Downloads' tab. 

Given we are making changes, we have decided to undertake additional consultation because we want to make sure everyone has the chance to review our updated proposals before we submit our applications later this year for a development consent order (DCO) for the EMG2 Works and the Highway Works and an application for a material change order (MCO) to the EMG1 DCO for the EMG1 Works. We also wish to provide additional information requested by some respondents during our first found of consultation.

What we are consulting on

All the draft application documents consulted upon earlier this year have been updated and are being provided for comment. In addition, the following new or updated draft documents will be available for comment:

  • Additional Environmental Statement material including draft Chapter 4 Alternatives, draft Chapter 6 Traffic and Transport, and draft Chapter 21 Cumulative Impacts
  • Draft Transport Assessment
  • Technical Appendices to Environmental Statement chapters
  • Proposed Community Park plan and additional details


All the documents are listed below and can be viewed and/or downloaded by clicking on the document name. 

How to respond 

Consultation responses can be provided using any one of the following methods:

  • By Post: EMG2, PO Box 11382, Nottingham, NG2 9AU
  • Online via the form on the 'Contact us' tab

To ensure your comments are considered, please ensure they are submitted by 29 July 2025.
Please note that, if you provided comments in February/March 2025, we have received them and will be taking them into account - therefore you do not need to submit them again, unless you wish to.
