Would a scheme to underground part of an existing 132,000 kv overhead line need consent under the Planning Act 2008 (the Act)?

Advice given

We are unable to provide a definitive view as to whether a particular scheme constitutes a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project. You should seek your own legal advice on which you can rely.

In principle, any works to underground part of an existing 132kv overhead line would not require development consent.
