Targeted consultation

Our Targeted Consultation is open for five weeks from Wednesday 22 October to Wednesday 26 November 2026.

After we consulted on our plans for the Scheme during our Phase Two consultation, we have made a series of changes to our proposals and are now consulting on these changes.

These changes have been informed by further design work and due diligence, ongoing consideration of consultee feedback and findings from the ongoing environmental impact assessment process. The feedback received during Phase Two consultation is continuing to be considered as we further refine our designs ahead of our revised DCO submission date, with is anticipated to be in early 2026.

These changes to the Scheme boundary relate to confirming the land that may be required for:

  • Additional small areas of land adjacent to and to the northwest to Site 1; and to the southwest of Site 1 associated with the works connecting the new National Grid Substation to the existing overhead transmission electric lines.

  • Additional small areas of land throughout the Scheme associated with updates to highway visibility splays.

  • Additional small areas of land throughout the Scheme to accommodate Abnormal Indivisible Loads (AILs) that could result in highway works, temporary removal of street furniture (benches, bins, bollards, etc.) and/or vegetation removal.

  • Confirmation of the preferred location of the new National Grid substation, which is proposed to be located within Site 1B.

  • Confirmation of the location and size of the substation in Site 1B (which is proposed to increase from 132kv to 400kv).

  • An area within Site 7D where additional solar PV panels have been included.

Further details about the changes can be found in our Information Change Note. Larger maps of each change can also be found on our Documents webpage here.
