I appreciate that the additional sites are not for consideration/discussion yet.

However, I feel I must point out at an early stage that the additional site Ref GNLP2075, Cawston Road, Reepham must be dismissed at an early stage as the cable route of the Norfolk Vanguard project, Vattenfall's offshore wind farm project that has just been submitted to to the Planning Inspectorate for DCO crosses this proposed site. I understand from previous discussions with Vattenfall that planning permission cannot be granted for any housing development that would be built on top of the HVDC cable routes.

I am sure you are both aware of the Vattenfall, Vanguard and Boreas projects that will hit landfall at Happisburgh and cross Norfolk to Nacton Grid near the A47.

Similarly Orsted are going through a DCO process for their offshore wind farm project which goes from Weybourne to Norwich South Grid at Mangreen,off the A140.

Both companies routes have to cross Norfolk somewhere and unfortunately that is just outside Reepham!
