The site is situated 700 metres south west of Stoke Bardolph village, in an agricultural field adjacent to the overhead line.
Sited here, the new substation will:
- Cause minimum disruption to local residents, businesses and the village of Stoke Bardolph.
- Need no additional pylons to link to the 400kV line.
- Be located outside of the flood plain and at no risk of flooding.
- Allow for substantial landscape and ecological mitigation works around the site.
