How can you even consider an application to go to a site that hasn’t even got its own permission! According to ,the now in purdah government, a halt was going to be called on “ The great grid upgrade” to look at other options including an integrated offshore grid. This would make this application pointless and would save the devastation of our precious countryside! The application needs looking at as a whole as we are not getting the whole truth! National Grid ( a private company) are telling wind farms, more than just this application and Interconnectors , they must get to Ardleigh/ Lt.Bromley substation before they have their own permission to expand the grid as though it is a foregone conclusion. Planning should go through the process of infrastructure before any additional development! This seems to fail time and again wether it roads before housing, schools and doctors surgeries before development and now green energy before distribution network! None of the above seem to consider the environmental impact on nature, farming, food production and health! If it is produced offshore, keep it offshore, This must be a cheaper option. Bring it on at a brown field site near to where it is needed, Tilbury not Ardleigh!
