As part of that process a constraints study is currently underway to inform the preferred route. The preferred route will undergo screening for Environmental Impact and Appropriate Assessment. Once the screening process is completed the planning process will commence. The constraints study is currently underway to inform the preferred route. This route will be brought to an official meeting of the Councillors prior to the commencement of public consultation. Subject to agreement a joint meeting can be arranged between all 3 local authorities."
