Site is crossed by high voltage ZB275 kV overhead line. National Grid does not own land over which overhead lines cross, it obtains the rights from landowners to place equipment on their land. Potential developers should be aware that it is National Grid policy to retain our existing overhead lines in-situ. It is advisable for developers and planning authorities to take into account the location and nature of existing electricity transmission equipment when planning developments.

National Grid prefers that buildings are not built directly beneath its overhead lines for reasons of access.

Statutory safety clearances between overhead lines, the ground and built structures must not be infrindged.

National Grid seeks to encourage high quality and well planned development in the vicinity of its high voltage overhead lines. Land beneath and adjacent to the overhad line should be used to make a positive contribution to the development of the site (see A Sense of Place guidance by David Lock Associates.)

Site is crossed by FM05 high pressure gas pipline. We require that no permanent structures are built over or under pipelines or within the zone specified in the agreements, materials or soil are not stacked or stored on top of the pipeline route and that unrestricted and safe access to any of our pipeline(s) must be maintained at all times. Local authorities have a statutory duty to consider applications for development in the vicinity of high pressure (above 7 bar) pipelines and to advise the developer on whether the development should be allowed on safety
grounds on rules provided by HSE. Should these sites be taken forward as development sites in the future, the developers should be made aware of the above issues.

The site is crossed by a high pressure line from Mardyke Station to Stock Station. Construction traffic should only cross the pipeline at locations agreed with National Grid. For all assets the contractor/developer will need to consider the clearance and necessary protection measures. No piling should take place within 15m of gas distribution assets without prior agreement. National Grid will need to ensure that access to the piplines is maintained during and after construction.
