M54 to M6 Link Road - Statutory Consultation

Overview

This consultation has now closed. Please visit the scheme webpage for further information and updates on the scheme.

Statutory Consultation

We're consulting on our proposals for an improved link between the M54 and the M6.

This statutory consultation follows on from our previous consultation in September 2017 and our selection of the preferred route, which we announced in September 2018.

This consultation is your opportunity to share your views on the design of the proposed scheme in advance of our application for a Development Consent Order (DCO). 

A DCO is a special type of planning application, which is needed for a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP). Further information on the DCO process can be found on the National Infrastructure Planning website.

Businesses, local authorities, public bodies, road users, local residents and community groups can play an important part in the development of the scheme design.

The consultation will run for 6 weeks, from Friday 24 May to Friday 5 July 2019.
