Council planning record

The proposed removal of less than 6m of Hedgerow is sought to facilitate the entry of plant to carry out essential refurbishment work upon the steel tower structures which form the AF Route 132kV overhead powerline. Condition based assessments upon the AF003 tower have determined that the structure is at the end of its functional life and in need of urgent upgrading. Currently an existing 12ft gate provides access into agricultural grounds, with a further 12ft gate proposed to increase this to a double gated entrance.
