National Grid Pylons North Humber to High Marnham

The proposed Pylons between North Humber to High Marnham -

• National Grid Consultation – North Humber to High Marnham Power Lines - National Grid Electricity Transmission is consulting on proposals for upgrading the electricity network between the North Humber and High Marnham. The existing power lines do not have sufficient capacity for all the new sources of electricity that National Grid expect to connect to the network over the next ten years and beyond. proposals include building approximately 90 kilometres (km) of new 400 kilovolt (kV) overhead electricity transmission line between two new substations – one to the north of Hull near Creyke Beck and one at High Marnham.

Between 1 June 2023 and 27 July 2023 National Grid are holding our first stage of public consultation on their early proposals.

New pylons and conductors (electrical wires) would be located along the route of the proposed new overhead line. National Grid are considering the use of traditional 400 kV lattice steel pylons, which are typically 50 metres in height, with approximately three pylons located per kilometre on a straight section of the route. The aim is for the proposed upgrade to be operational by 2031.

National Grid have already have carried out engineering and environmental assessments to identify an emerging preferred corridor, within which the new reinforcement could be located. They have also considered aspects such as residential properties, existing overhead lines and sensitive features from a biodiversity and ecology, historical

environment and heritage, and landscape and visual impact perspective.

National Grid want to hear directly from the public on their views, Feedback from this consultation, along with technical work and our ongoing environmental assessment, will help to shape their plans. National Grid will share updated proposals at a second stage of consultation planned for autumn 2024, where we will present more developed plans. Following this, they will finalise proposals and will report all feedback and on responses to your comments in a Consultation Report which will be submitted with National Grid’s application for development consent. The consultation runs until 27th July. The public and Parish Councils alike are encouraged to send all their views and ask questions by contacting National Grid at:
