The application is required to support another application made under Section 36C of the Electricity Act 1989, to continue to operate an open cycle gas turbine generating station (Knapton Generating Station) previously consented on 25 March 1993 by the Department of Trade and Industry. The Overhead Line subject of this Section 37 Application was consented on the same date, to install above-ground the electric lines specified. The Section 37 application does not seek to construct new lines or new infrastructure or to dismantle the current infrastructure. Therefore, there is no requirement for any temporary construction works, other than may be required for any routine maintenance on the existing infrastructure. There is also no requirement for wayleaves other than those currently in place. The existing 132kV line to be maintained is approximately 600m long, supported by 3 No. 30m steel towers.
