MORE THAN 370 PEOPLE VISIT ONLINE EXHIBITION
The consultation event into Rathlin Energy (UK) Limited’s proposed development at West Newton A closed at 00:01 hours on Tuesday, eight days after it opened to local residents.
The exhibition was designed to give local people and business owners an opportunity to comment on its proposals before the company begins to develop a planning application to create a production facility at the East Yorkshire site.
10 per cent of those who attended the online exhibition left their comments which will now be considered and used to inform the planning application development process.
A spokesperson for the company said: “We are pleased with the turnout and the response we have had – almost 100 percent more when compared to our West Newton A/B [physical] event over a weekend in 2014. Local residents have had an opportunity to share their comments with us and we have had some very interesting feedback. We would like to thank everyone for their enthusiastic contributions which will now be carefully reviewed ahead of the submission of a planning application.”
Rathlin Energy (UK) Limited will now assess all information that has been gathered over several years and hopes to submit a carefully considered planning application in the summer. Further updates will be posted on this website as usual.
