Constructing the onshore cable route

Temporary construction compounds

There will be a requirement to have TCCs in place in strategic locations along the onshore cable corridor. These will provide the Project with facilities to service the installation of approximately 24km of onshore cable, build the Project’s onshore substation, and store construction materials and plant.

The proposed locations of TCCs are shown on the overview map and listed below. They can be viewed in more detail on the interactive map and more information can be found in our PEIR Addendum.

As part of our ongoing work, we’ll carry out further surveys of proposed TCC locations and continue to liaise with Essex County Council with regard to their suitability and the safety of other road users.

TCCs may include:

• Temporary fencing, the requirements of which will be determined by security factors and land use
• Temporary site signage and potentially other site safety requirements
• Temporary facilities for site personnel, although there will be no overnight accommodation on any of our sites
• Storage of construction materials and plant
• Temporary access to and from the site

Once we have finished using the TCCs we will, as far as practicable, reinstate the surface of the affected land to a condition similar to that which existed prior to entry, as evidenced by a pre-entry schedule of condition which dictates the condition in which land used by the Project must be left after completion.
