This feedback will then help shape the Eden Project North planning application, which is due to be submitted later this summer.

The “room” features tropical plants, a geodesic dome and Eden’s iconic sugar truck.

To mark the opening of the event, Eden will host a special edition of its series of Eden Project North community conversations themed around the design of the project and featuring David Harland, Eden’s design team and representatives from Grimshaw Architects.

This conversation will take place at 1pm on Friday July 16 on Zoom and a recording will be made available after the event.

David Harland said: “This is another important milestone on the road to Eden Project North becoming a reality and we hope this virtual format enables us to engage the biggest section of the community under the current circumstances.

“My first trip out of Cornwall this year was to Morecambe recently and there remains a real buzz about creating the project that everybody wants. We’re really looking forward to welcoming as many people as possible to our virtual Eden and hearing what you have to say to us.”

Anyone can access the event any time throughout the consultation period through a web browser running on a computer or mobile device.
