1. The emerging vision for the site seeks to deliver:

  • A zero-carbon technology and energy hub for the East Midlands
  • High-skilled jobs
  • Modern industrial and business uses, served by on-site sustainable energy generation and storage
  • Advanced manufacturing, for example for production of electric car batteries
  • A hub for research, development, and innovation, through links with universities, business support organisations and established industry

Do you support the emerging vision for the site? What else should we consider?

2. We have developed some initial objectives for the masterplan, which are aligned with the emerging vision for the redevelopment of the site.

Please rate each objective to indicate how important it is to you. (5 = very, 1 = not important)

Welcoming a range of sectors and industries

Creating a new home for a variety of businesses and research organisations.
3

Creating one combined site

North and south areas integrated into one campus.

Better connected

4. The plans for the site would seek to encourage sustainable modes of transport rather than encouraging greater car use. For example, by providing direct access from East Midlands Parkway railway station, by making walking and cycling a more attractive alternative for local journeys, and by improving bus access to the site. The existing rail freight line into the site could also be retained.

Do you support the plans to promote sustainable transport, such as increased cycle and pedestrian routes? Do you have any other suggestions which would encourage sustainable travel to the site?

5. Overall, to what extent are you supportive of the plans for the future of the Ratcliffe power station site?
