Planning application
Consett, Derwent Reservoir Northumberland
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
Comments within 2 months. New connection requested to a planned caravan site remote from the existing network at Derwent Reservoir. 69kVA three phase requested. The existing network of Redwell Hall - Derwent Bridge SW 20kv feeder is configured for split phase however the network is three phase within a reasonable distance, due to this is it proposed to replace 4 existing HV poles to make them suitable for three phase conductors. Any existing apparatus on the poles is to be replaced with like for like new equipment. The 4 affected spans currently have two conductors above ground running to each pole. The proposed upgrade sees these upgraded to 3 new conductors. A new inline H (Short leg) pole is to take the place of an existing in line single pole, fusegear and a 100kVA 20kV three phase transformer are to be installed on this pole. Reference: TS/ENQ23274321
