The works comprise: The placing of a 132kV single circuit wood pole overhead line, originating at the existing 132kV pole (FH217R) located south of the M62, approximately 2km west of Junction 8, M62 Warrington. The proposed new section of 132kV overhead line will run south from the existing pole FH217R for 7 spans, turning west for the final span. Here it will rejoin the existing 132kV line at pole FH213A. The proposed overhead line is a diversion of the existing overhead line that runs through these fields. The poles are being shifted to the east by between 60 and 70m to enable the progression of the proposed industrial development. Existing poles FH216, FH215 and FH214 shall be removed once the new overhead is in place.
