Our proposals in Brinsworth
Proposals
We’re currently developing our proposals for the new Brinsworth substation. We’re carrying out preliminary assessments and ecological surveys and reaching out to landowners and other key stakeholders to help determine where the proposed new substations may be located.
We intend to carry out our public consultation to introduce the proposals to the local community and stakeholders in the coming weeks. We’ll write to local communities before consultation opens.
We value your input as we develop our plans – feedback from local communities and stakeholders will help inform and shape our proposals. During our ongoing community consultation over the coming months, we’ll:
- Continue our discussions with landowners and people with an interest in land that interacts with the project
- Meet local elected representatives
- Carry out required environmental and ecological surveys at the proposed substation locations
- Hold a series of community consultation events – both face-to-face and online – which will include information about our proposals, with members of the project team available to answer questions
- Provide updates to the local community and to those who have asked to be kept abreast of our proposals
- Prepare a Statement of Community Involvement alongside our application to show how we’ve considered your views.
Following further development and finalisation of our series of works, we intend to submit planning applications to Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council, North East Derbyshire District Council and Bassetlaw District Council in early 2025.
We’ll update this page when we have more detailed information.
Our public consultation
We’ll hold public consultations for the local communities in Brinsworth, Chesterfield and High Marnham. These are designed to introduce our proposals and gain your feedback. Comments received at this point in the process will play an important part and help shape our plans ahead of the planning application, which we anticipate we’ll submit in early 2025.
The High Marnham and Chesterfield consultation periods will run from Monday 22 April until Monday 20 May 2024.
Please do share your views, as well as any suggestions regarding what you’d like us to consider, as we continue to develop the project, by 11.59pm on Monday 20 May 2024.
We’ll share information about the Brinsworth consultation period very soon – please check back here for further details.
In the meantime, you can find information about the Brinsworth to High Marnham project on this page. Please check back here for more information on our proposals and how to submit your feedback when the consultation periods open.
We’ll hold a series of face-to-face events and online webinars to share more information about our proposals. To find out about our other consultation events:
