With the Eden Project North planning application due to be submitted later this summer the organisation have begun a formal three-week engagement event with local residents with the outcome feeding into the application.
The virtual Eden Project North engagement event, which runs from Friday July 16 to Friday August 6, will feature a video introduction from David Harland, Chief Executive of Eden Project International.
The event will give people the opportunity to see the latest plans for the project and formally offer feedback. This feedback will then help shape the Eden Project North planning application, which is due to be submitted later this summer.
A stunning virtual room based on the Rainforest Biome at the Eden Project in Cornwall will be the venue for the latest engagement event around the plans for Eden Project North in Morecambe with the “room” featuring tropical plants, a geodesic dome and Eden’s iconic sugar truck.
To mark the opening of the event, Eden will host a special edition of its series of Eden Project North community conversations themed around the design of the project and featuring David Harland, Eden’s design team and representatives from Grimshaw Architects.
This conversation will take place at 1pm on Friday July 16 on Zoom and a recording will be made available after the event.
Further Eden Project community conversations have been confirmed for the remainder of 2021 and are now open for registration.
David Harland said: “This is another important milestone on the road to Eden Project North becoming a reality and we hope this virtual format enables us to engage the biggest section of the community under the current circumstances.
“My first trip out of Cornwall this year was to Morecambe recently and there remains a real buzz about creating the project that everybody wants. We’re really looking forward to welcoming as many people as possible to our virtual Eden and hearing what you have to say to us.”
Anyone can access the event any time throughout the consultation period through a web browser running on a computer or mobile device.
