Norwich to Tilbury - October Project Update

Norwich to Tilbury is a proposal for a new electricity transmission connection. It will play an important part in connecting low carbon, more affordable electricity from where it is generated to where it is needed. 

Relevant representations for Norwich to Tilbury 

Earlier this month our application for a Development Consent Order was accepted for examination by the Planning Inspectorate. This is a major milestone for the project and we are grateful to everyone who provided feedback and helped shape our proposals. We expect the examination of our proposals to begin in the coming months. This is when an independent panel of experts scrutinises our application in detail, including the examination of any representations made by the public and stakeholders.  

Anyone who is interested in taking part in the examination has the opportunity to make either a verbal or written representation about the Project. 

How to take part 

If you would like to make a representation, you will need to register and make your comments by filling out a form on the Norwich to Tilbury page on the Planning Inspectorate’s website. Anyone who completes a registration form correctly and makes a relevant representation by the deadline will become an interested party. The Planning Inspectorate will keep you informed about the examination. 

The Planning Inspectorate will publish information when registration opens on their website.  

Registration will close at 23:59 on 27 November 2025. The above is information we have received from National Grid in relation to the Norwich to Tilbury project.
