The project then continues northeast, skirting south of Fleet, travelling through Farnborough, crossing into Surrey and skirting Frimley, before continuing through Chobham and crossing beneath the M3 and M25 motorways as well as the River Thames. The project then continues through Ashford in Surrey and terminates at the West London Terminal storage facility in Hounslow.

Under section 42 and section 47 of the 2008 Act, Esso has a duty to consult the local community and has produced a Statement of Community Consultation which sets out how Esso will undertake its community consultation. Additionally, Esso has a duty to publicise the proposed application under section 48 of the 2008 Act and in line with Regulation 4 of the 2009 Regulations. This notice therefore outlines the main details of the application and where a copy of the consultation documents can be viewed.

A hard copy of the Preliminary Report can be found on Esso’s project website at www.slpproject.co.uk and at the locations marked with an asterix.
