Following a review of the above Development Plan Document, we have identified that one or more proposed development sites are crossed o in close proximity to NGET assets. EP01 - Ellesmere Port South - A5117 (Mixed Use) Asset description: YYS ROUTE: 132Kv Overhead Transmission Line route: CAPENHURST - INCE 1 and CAPENHURST - INCE 2. 4ZE ROUTE TWR (003-052R): 400Kv Overhead Transmission Line route: CAPENHURST - FRODSHAM 1 and CAPENHURST - FRODSHAM 2 EP02 - Ellesmere Port West - Backford Cross (Housing) Asset description: YYS ROUTE: 132Kv Overhead Transmission Line route: CAPENHURST - INCE 1 and CAPENHURST - INCE 2. 4ZE ROUTE TWR (003-052R): 400Kv Overhead Transmission Line route: CAPENHURST - FRODSHAM 1 and CAPENHURST - FRODSHAM 2 A plan showing details of the site locations and details of NGET assets is attached (illustrative plan only) EP01, EP02, NOR11, ELT04 interactions – suggested wording With respect to the future drafting of policies supporting the above allocations: 1. We propose that in order to appropriately manage interactions identified between the above proposed allocations and NGET assets that the following wording, or wording to similar effect, be included within an appropriate overarching allocations policy, or within each allocation policy: “The development will include a strategy for responding to the NGET Overhead Lines Route present within the site which demonstrates how the NGET Design Guide and Principles have been applied at the masterplanning stage and how the impact of the assets has been reduced through good design.” 2. We propose that to ensure appropriate engagement with utility and service providers to ensure network resilience and response to development proposals that the following wording, or wording to similar effect, be included within an appropriate overarching allocations policy, or within each allocation policy: “Early engagement will be required with the utility and service providers in order to establish available supply capacity to the site and, depending on the type of proposed development, what reinforcement will be required.”
