General Vesting Declarations

On 10 April 2025, National Grid Electricity Transmission Plc (“National Grid”) made a series of General Vesting Declarations (“GVDs”) under the CPO, to begin the process of acquiring new rights over land. 

A GVD is a legal document which is used to acquire interests in land as a result of the powers contained within a CPO whereby after a period of 3 months, ownership of the new rights will automatically transfer to National Grid. The GVDs are necessary to allow National Grid to continue with the substation construction and connection works.

National Grid has served notice packs on all those with an interest in the land affected by the GVD and site notices have been erected where necessary. 

If you’d like more information about the General Vesting Declarations, then please contact National Grid’s appointed land agent, Fisher German on [email protected] or in writing to Fisher German LLP, Firn House, 61 Church Street, Hungerford, RG17 0JH.
