Grid notices run from a Yate verge pole to offshore wind transmission consent

Two separate consent notices point to electricity network work at different scales around Bristol’s northern fringe. In South Gloucestershire, the council planning weekly list records an application to replace an existing single pole with a double (H) pole on a grass verge at Tanhouse Lane, Yate, under Section 37 of the Electricity Act 1989 [1]. Nationally, the Planning Inspectorate announced that the Morgan and Morecambe Offshore Wind Farms Transmission Assets development consent order application had been granted development consent by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero [2]. The documents do not show that the Yate pole is part of the offshore wind scheme; together they place a small local overhead-line item alongside a larger transmission consent within the Planning Act 2008 framework referenced in the notices [1][2]. Of the two, only the Tanhouse Lane item is located in South Gloucestershire [1].
