Non-statutory consultation feedback
How we have addressed non-statutory consultation feedback
Our revised proposals, presented at the 2025 statutory consultation, considered feedback from the non-statutory consultation in Summer 2024.
This page provides a high-level summary of the main types of comments received. Our non-statutory consultation report, which is available here, provides further details. This summarises the feedback received and explains how this has been considered.
| Feedback received | How feedback has been considered |
|---|---|
| Comments from residents who are concerned about the proximity of the proposed pipeline and Above Ground Installations (AGIs) to individual properties and villages. | The basis of the Project design is for the pipeline and the AGIs to be away from settlements and avoid properties and gardens. The pipeline has been designed in accordance with all relevant legal requirements and best practices, including those of the Health and Safety Executive. Changes made since non-statutory consultation as part of the iterative engineering process mean AGIs are now further from some residential areas. |
| Concern about the impact of construction traffic on communities, notably in the Goxhill, South End and East Halton areas. | The project continues to refine proposals for most appropriate access, working closely with the Highways Authorities. The PEIR and statutory consultation maps provide more details about the proposed routes and options for construction traffic. The routes to be used may depend on the construction method used for the Humber crossing. We are also monitoring other projects in the area for combined impacts. We continue to welcome local feedback on this important topic. |
| Comments about the interaction of the pipeline route in specific sites of local interest. | The latest route avoids both the RSPB Island Farm Nature Reserve near the River Trent and Mayflower Woods, near South Killingholme. |
| Comments and concerns about potential impacts on land drainage or flooding. | The project is undertaking detailed assessments of land drainage and will be engaging with landowners and land agents on mitigation measures to ensure there is no impact on drainage systems. |
| Specific feedback from landowners or developers about impacts to their land. | Where appropriate, amendments have been made in accordance with feedback received at the non-statutory consultation. The project will continue to liaise with affected landowners. |
