EWR Public Consultation
East West Rail – Spring Consultation 2026
EWR Co. has confirmed it will hold an eight-week public consultation from Tuesday 14 April to Tuesday 9 June 2026. This is expected to be the final route-wide consultation before a Development Consent Order is submitted in 2027.
This consultation will present the latest designs and information on East West Rail, offering communities along the route an opportunity to have their say on the latest plans and help shape the final design. More information regarding the consultation, including details of the consultation events, can be found on the EWR website: eastwestrail.co.uk/pr-east-west-rail-announces-details-of-last-route-wide-public-consultation
EWR Co. has also advised that correspondence will be sent to all newly affected landowners this week to inform them of the potential for compulsory acquisition, and to notify all landowners of the consultation launch date. If you know anyone who may be concerned or has questions about this process, please encourage them to contact the EWR Land & Property team by emailing ku.oc.liartsewtsae@dnal or calling 0330 838 7583.
Following officers’ review of the consultation material, the GCSP NSIP team will provide a briefing for parish councils and residents’ associations – the date is to be confirmed, and further details will follow. In the meantime, please do not hesitate to contact the NSIP team if you have any queries regarding the consultation or the EWR DCO more generally via gro.gninnalpegdirbmacretaerg@spisn.
