Norwich to Tilbury
Document library
We have extended our public consultation on our proposals for Norwich to Tilbury until 11:59pm on Friday 26 July 2024. We’re doing this to give people additional time to have their say and provide feedback on our proposals after the General Election. Any feedback you’ve previously submitted during this consultation remains valid, but if you want to provide any further comments you can do so by filling out our online feedback form here.
On this page you can view all our statutory consultation documents. This includes our 2024 Project Background Document, Preliminary Environmental Impact Report (PEIR) and Non-technical Summary of the PEIR (NTS of the PEIR), as well as our 2024 Design Development Report and 2024 Strategic Options Backcheck and Review which provides an overview of the appraisal approach we have used to date to consider strategic options for Norwich to Tilbury.
Within the PEIR and its supporting figures we have identified some pages where the edges of maps have been clipped. This doesn’t affect the information contained within the PEIR or our assessments to date, but it does mean there are some small geographical gaps. We’ve revised the relevant map sheets and have made these available below alongside an errata document.
Our first non-statutory consultation finished in June 2022 and our second non-statutory consultation finished in August 2023, but you can continue to view our consultation documents and materials, as well as interim materials, below.

Interactive map
We've produced an updated interactive map to support our 2024 public consultation to make it easier to identify where you are in relation to our proposals.

Using this interactive map, you can:
View our preferred draft alignment detailing our proposed new 400 kV overhead line between the existing Norwich Main substation in Norfolk to the existing substation at Bramford, and from Bramford to the existing Tilbury substation in Essex.
As our proposals relate to the reinforcement of the 400 kV network in East Anglia, this map only illustrates the existing 275 kV and 400kV network along with related substations.
