- No. The study area is currently underused land in public ownership and no residential relocation is proposed under any of the three options.
- How will local people get the jobs?
- Each option includes a local employment target and a training pathway registered through the Community Portal, so residents can register interest before works begin.
- Is a decision already made?
- No. The three options are genuine alternatives. This demonstration shows how community responses would be gathered and reported back.
- How will results be published?
- A consultation report would be published on the project page, with responses grouped by theme and a clear record of what changed as a result.
