As many of will be aware, there is a proposal to bring a new string of pylons from Norwich to Tilbury to carry the power that will be generated by a vast proposed array of turbines situated in the north sea. The current route takes them down the western side of the village less than a mile from the village boundary. As a result we will have pylons on both sides of the village.
I think the new name for the project is the Great Grid Update. It is to bring the offshore wind farm power on line and then move it from Norwich to Tilbury where it is to be used. The public consultation is in 2024.
