This is just the start.  We have been building support for what we think is a great project and now we need a robust demonstration that it can and will provide enormous benefits to Taunton and the surrounding area.

​

We must prove that the ground is suitable and that the scheme can be built economically.  We must confirm that there is a need to develop businesses of this type.  We must ensure that the scheme can be built without harming the environment or archaeology into which it will be placed.

​

This will require feasibility studies.  We have asked international waterways specialist civil engineers Black & Veatch Ltd (now Binnies UK Ltd) to make a start on these studies using their knowledge of ground and environmental conditions locally obtained from involvement in nearby River Tone flood alleviation schemes.
