The detailed design phase of this project begins

In May 2026, we kicked off the detailed design phase with a workshop attended by the Environment Agency, our consultants JBA Consulting and contractors VolkerStevin. The detailed design is the stage where surveys, studies and technical work are carried out to develop the proposed design in enough detail to support planning and future construction.

The workshop was a great opportunity for the project team to meet in person, build relationships and discuss plans for the next two years. Topics included upcoming environmental surveys, further design development, stakeholder engagement and future public exhibitions.

As the project progresses, the information gathered through surveys and engagement will help shape the design and support the next stages of project development.
