Ingatestone & Fryerning Parish Council Pylons Scheme Update

Please find below the update from The Planning Policy Team of Brentwood Borough Council:

National Grid have launched a second non-statutory consultation on their proposals for a new high voltage electricity powerline, running from Norwich to Tilbury. The consultation will run for eight weeks until Monday 21st August 2023.

The project is classed as a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project. This means the Secretary of State needs to approve it, through a Development Consent Order. We are a consultee in this process and as such we will be making a representation to this consultation.

To view the proposals within Brentwood Borough, please see National Grid’s dedicated webpage, www.nationalgrid.com (search ‘Ingatestone’ under the Electricity Transmission section).

In addition to the above, please check out the links to main documentation and consultation resources, which are all hosted on National Grid’s project webpage via the Ingatestone & Fryerning Parish Council update available at www.ingatestone-fryerningpc.gov.uk/ pylons-scheme-update

Public Information Events:

As part of the consultation National Grid held a public information event at The Brentwood Centre on Thursday 6th July. This is one of a number of information events taking place across the proposed route and aimed to give members of the public the opportunity to find out more about their proposals, view and take away printed materials and speak to experts within their team.

Webinars:

National Grid are holding webinar sessions, where they will present their proposals followed by an open question and answer session.

Saturday 12th August 10-11am

As a leading domestic glass replacement company for more than 16 years, Cloudy2Clear windows are the leading name in the industry. There is no need for you to risk your windows by using the dreaded double glazing cowboy down the street. You can join over 336,000 happy customers and replace your glass ethically and affordably. If you have a failed glass unit, it may not provide you with the protection you need or be as energy-efficient as it once was. Take a minute to check your home to see if any double glazing has failed? Taking action now can prevent future financial problems.

When talking to the Manager of Cloudy2Clear windows Chris Miller it became clear that these values have been held dear for a number of years. Since starting the business some years ago Cloudy2Clear have remained true to their core values of supporting the local community by providing a service that saves the public money.

The Cloudy2Clear service only requires the glass to be replaced and not the whole window once the unit has failed. Chris commented “Cloudy2Clear were able to assist our community through the last savings that can be made in using our service. Unfortunately we might be going through something similar again soon and the public can rest assured that we will be there to help once again”.
