These relate to the land at Overton affected by the substation and pylons from there. Purchase of pylon site B2-25 would lead to Land Registry difficulties in the future - this should be an easement like other pylons on the route. A right of way needs to be retained over the acquired land B2-39 to access B2-34. Access solely from the A19 would be dangerous. The pond to the east of the substation is shown as included in the purchase area but is not shown as being within the substation boundary. Access 2.7.2 - AP92 onto the A19 should be improved/widened. AP87 - this will remove trees in a woodland planting scheme but this is not shown in 2.11.2 of the trees & hedgerows affected. These were planted at the same time as those shown at the south end of the substation field. There are also trees that were planted at the same time in the northern end of the field adjacent to the railway line west of the substation field and these are not shown as affected either. 2.12.2 Traffic management TR08 should be located to manage the exit onto the A19 from the substation field. Traffic management TR09 - TR10 is of great concern due to the multiple vehicle movements from Overton Grange at all times and during harvest these will be much more frequent and many more movements of large vehicles including grain trailers to and from fields from July to September.
