National Grid recently held a consultation for its plan for the East Anglia Green Energy Enablement (GREEN) project. The proposal is to build a new high voltage network reinforcement between Norwich, Bramford and Tilbury.

The plans, that were out for consultation until mid-June, have raised concerns amongst a number of farming and landowning members who are worried about the potential impact of the new National Grid project, involving the construction of a new electricity transmission line.

The CLA has responded to the consultation and believes that alternatives to intrusive overhead pylons have not been adequately considered by National Grid.
