So we are expecting plans for a large power interconnector to be submitted shortly bringing power from France to the National Grid and have also been notified of Esso’s plans to install a new Southampton to London underground oil pipeline.
The good news is that this latest piece of proposed infrastructure does not go through Horndean or the surrounding area, but will cut through Alton. Out of interest we will be asking the planning team to see if the underground cables for the Interconnector could be laid in the same excavation taking the installation to a different part of the UK instead.
Anyway here is the map of the proposed route…
