NATIONAL GRID PLANNING CONSULTATION: East Anglia GREEN consultation launch
National Grid is consulting on the ‘East Anglia Green’ project: proposals to reinforce the high voltage electricity transmission network from Norwich Main substation in Norfolk to Bramford substation in Suffolk, on to Tilbury substation in Essex, as well as a proposed connection substation to connect new offshore wind generation. Part of the project route is across the North of Colchester Borough.
The website http://www.nationalgrid.com/east-anglia-green gives further details.
Comments can be made using the National Grid online form at https://eastangliagreen.participatr.io/index.php?contentid=13
If you have any particular concerns that you feel the Borough Council should be aware of, please copy your comment as made on the National Grid form and email it to planning.services@colchester.gov.uk quoting the application number 221119.
Comments must be submitted to National Grid by Thursday 16 June 2022 and please submit any representations to the Borough as soon as possible to help inform the Council’s response.

Proposed Food storage and distribution facility on Ipswich Road, Ardleigh
This planning application was rejected in 2020 but has recently been resubmitted to Tendring District Council. Although the site sits in Ardleigh, it is very close to Langham. Ardleigh Parish Council have engaged professional consultants to assist them in their objection and provide a guidance document to residents wishing to submit their own individual objections. They have kindly shared this document with us and a link can be found below. The deadline for comments on this planning application has been extended until at least 21st February (all comments received before the next full Tendring Planning Meeting will be considered). The guidance document is well worth a read if you are worried by the effects of this large new development and want to add to the large number of objections already submitted. The second link below takes you to the Tendring District Council Planning Portal where you can find the planning application by searching for its reference number 20/00594.
