The location of new tower SP006 should be moved further North to reduce the impact on the use of the field. We have been told this can't happen from the existing angle tower SP007 "...because technically it would have increased the span length and imposed greater weight loading on the existing angle tower meaning that the existing foundations may well have been unsuitable, and electrical clearances could not have been achieved". However, the current distance is much further between XCP013 and SP007 than the distance proposed to SP006. If the SP007 pylon is in need of upgrading to allow a similar span to those between the other new pylons then that should be done instead of having a much shorter span in order to retain an old pylon that is of a lower specification than needed. The requirement to use the access at New Farm for the scheme will conflict with the agricultural use. Additionally, 2.6.2 shows there is undergrounding of utility work No U4 in the entrance. We request an alternative access track be provided through the existing gateway west from the A19 then south to the farmstead running next to the field boundaries. The existing gateway is next to the field boundary shown on Traffic Regulation Order plan 2.12.2 just south of TR13 and north of the red line denoting the extent of the works.
