News on SEP & DEP

Our phase two consultation is running for six weeks between Thursday 29 April and Thursday 10 June 2021. During this time, we want to hear your views on our refined proposals for SEP and DEP.

The phase two consultation accompanies the publication of our Preliminary Environmental Information Report (PEIR) – a major milestone in our project. This has been a great collaborative effort, including studies, Expert Topic Group meetings, discussions with representatives, and alignment with developers and companies. This consultation marks the opportunity for community members, representatives and stakeholders to provide feedback on our proposals and the information presented in our PEIR.

We would like you to take a look at the material, and share your comments, thoughts and concerns with us. Our aim is to find solutions that enable SEP and DEP to be delivered in a way that is sustainable and acceptable to local residents, community members and stakeholders.

Like everybody, the ongoing Covid-19 situation forces us to make adjustments and we will be continuing our engagement with you in a virtual manner. Compared to phase one consultation, we are keeping what worked well, such as our SEP and DEP consultation website and a new virtual exhibition room. We also have all the same communications channels available through which you can get in touch with us. Our virtual exhibition can be accessed via our consultation website, where you can give us your views and find out more information about SEP and DEP ( https://sepanddep.commonplace.is/ ).

In addition, any community member will be able to get in touch with our team and ask questions in our drop-in sessions. Our Community Liaison Officer Nigel Tompkins is always available for contact and our mailbox is open to any enquiries you might have. Nigel can be contacted at nigel@ni4b.co.uk or 01263 822427 / 07860 206565.

You can also provide your comments via alternative methods. We also have hard copy feedback forms which can be filled in, and sent back to us free of charge via our freepost address: FREEPOST DUDGEON AND SHERINGHAM EXT. If you would like a hard copy feedback form, please get in touch via the contact details below.

As a long-time member of the Norfolk community – our Sheringham Shoal project recently celebrated its tenth birthday – and with multiple community initiatives continuing via our Community Funds, developing the SEP and DEP projects enable us to continue to nurture our relationship with Norfolk communities.

We are inviting comments on our refined proposals until Thursday 10 June 2021. Our communications lines will remain open following this period. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch at the following details:
