Advice given
In light of your concerns I have contacted the Applicant to fully understand their consultation processes and changes they have made in response to the Governments approach the coronavirus pandemic. As you are aware the public consultation events for Medworth have been cancelled, however, the public consultation itself is still underway. It was launched on 16th March and is currently proposed to run until Monday 4th May. I think perhaps this may be where the mix up regarding consultation on the Scoping Opinion may have come from. The Applicant has information regarding the proposals on their website – https://www.mvv-medworthchp.co.uk/documents. You can raise your concerns, including those you have on the Scoping Opinion, using the ‘general enquiry form’ here https://www.mvv-medworthchp.co.uk/get-in-touch. Alternatively you can email medworth@mvvuk.co.uk or call 01945 232 231. Furthermore if you have comments regarding the consultation itself you may provide feedback here https://www.mvv-medworthchp.co.uk/get-in-touch using the ‘consultation feedback form’ tab, or in hard copy to ‘Freepost MVV’. All consultation feedback will be reviewed and considered as the project progresses. The Applicant will continue to review the coronavirus situation in relation to their ability to hold community events. Engaging with affected communities is their key priority and they will assess how and when events can be held as the situation progresses.
