To help shape our plans ahead of the planning application, 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. 

Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council, North East Derbyshire District Council and Bassetlaw District Council will carry out their own public consultation as part of the process to determine the planning application.
 

Landowners

Where the land we need for our proposals isn’t owned by National Grid, we’ll actively engage in discussions with landowners. If you think our proposals could affect your land, please contact the Brinsworth to High Marnham Land Referencing Team at Ardent. You can call 0203 693 2500 or email [email protected]. Alternatively, you can write to Ardent, 36-38 Botolph Lane, London, EC3R 8DE.

Ardent will contact landowners and occupiers to agree licences around temporary access for non-intrusive and intrusive surveys that we’ll need to carry out during 2024. If you believe you are likely to impacted by our proposals and haven’t received a Land Information Questionnaire, please get in touch with Ardent­­ using the contact details above.
 

Coordination with other projects

Alongside our proposals for Brinsworth to High Marnham, two other National Grid Electricity Transmission projects are proposed in the Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire areas – Chesterfield to Willington and North Humber to High Marnham. These will connect into the proposed new Brinsworth and High Marnham substations in Chesterfield and High Marnham respectively.

We’ll work closely with the Chesterfield to Willington and North Humber to High Marnham teams to identify opportunities to ensure co-ordination and reduce disruption where possible.
