The Council is working to update some maps within its District Plan that show where a buffer area should be around high-voltage transmission lines.
The buffer area (National Grid Yard) restricts the type of development that can happen within a specific distance from the National Grid High Voltage Transmission Lines. This buffer exists to make sure people and their property are safe from the electrical hazard and to make sure the running and upgrading of the lines can run smoothly.
The maps within the District Plan show the transmission lines and the buffer area are mapped in slightly the wrong location. The physical location of the lines is not changing; our proposed update to the maps is to show the transmission lines and the buffer area in the correct location.
