Having received your letter sent to the Chief Executive of the Barnet and Chase Farm Hospitals Trust on 24th January regarding the above, I have been tasked with ascertaining how this affects our hospitals so that we may decide whether we wish to make a statement of representation.

I have checked out the website referred to in the letter and it doesn't actually identify what network each hospital is on. I am assuming that as the intention is to upgrade one of two supplies, that the other supply remains operational and so the effect will be via reduced resilience, but as I say, I need to identify to which site.

Can you confirm whether it is the Barnet or Chase Farm sites or both that are currently supplied via this section of the grid or will I need to go to one of the relevant town offices to find this information.

Advice given

The Planning Act 2008 and associated regulations lists certain bodies, including 'relevant statutory undertakers', to be notified of an accepted application and invited to the preliminary meeting. The Barnet and Chase Farm Hospitals Trust has been identified as a 'relevant statutory undertaker' associated with the North London Electric Line Reinforcement Proposal, this is the reason for the Trust receiving the recent correspondence dated 24 January 2013.

In answer to your question, we do not hold the information which would confirm whether the Barnet or Chase Farm sites (or both) are supplied via this section of electric line. You may wish to contact the applicant directly with this query on: 0800 319 6186.

I have included a direct link below to two of the application documents which you may find of use for an overview of the proposal:
