  10. Why consult widely? • Hunger for information from public • Ease a political decision in our favour • Consult stat-bods to hone EIA to main issues, and to focus consultants’ SoW • Talk to ‘everybody’ to make sure there are no show-stoppers

  11. Why is offshore different? • farther away from peoples’ homes • noise • offshore is ‘public’ space with history of resource exploitation

  12. Leaflet drop • 34,000 distributed • 700 forms returned • 86% in favour • Main concerns: • - visibility, noise, • - disturbance • 150 further interest

  13. Open Public Meetings

  14. Special Interest Meetings • 150 people sent reply slips wishing to participate in future meetings • Informal, issue-specific meetings according to greatest concerns : • Noise, construction disturbance, economics • Visibility, operational issues

  15. Pro-active media strategy

  18. Specific issue consultation • Fishermen • Port Authorities (POLA, Medway) • Radar • Birds (stat and non-statutory bodies)

  19. Lessons learned • Get allies working for you – e.g. FOE • Pro-active media campaign • Radiate transparency • Make yourself available

  20. Last thoughts • Always play your best cards: • Government policy is in your favour • Alternatives – nuclear, more coal, gas • Protection of the environment
