How many sites are likely to be affected?
We estimate that there are in the region of 50 sites in England and Wales near or affected by National Grid’s high voltage electrical equipment that are currently earmarked for potential development. Although National Grid has no control over new commercial or residential development near its existing lines, we always encourage planning authorities and developers to get in touch with us if they know a particular site like this might be going ahead. We can offer advice and information for the master planning for such sites.
