development primarily comprises the demolition of existing structures on site and the provision of a substation compound along with associated and ancillary works and is described as follows: The existing structures on site to be demolished comprise 4 no. industrial commercial buildings, an associated hut/outbuilding, a gas enclosure, and a tank with bund wall. The remains of a previously demolished building, areas of hard standing, and existing surface treatments will also be removed as part of the site clearance works. The proposed substation compound is subdivided into two parts. The northern part of the compound will accommodate a two storey 110kV GIS substation building (with gross floor are of c. 1,377 sqm). The southern part of the compound will accommodate four transformers and a single storey client control building (with a gross floor area c. 416sqm) and associated underground services. Both parts of the substation compound will be enclosed within 2.6metre high security fencing. The overall compound will be enclosed with a property fence 1.4 metre height. The development includes access paths, landscaping, security fencing, provision of access roads, car parking within the GIS substation compound, provision of a rural supply electricity connection (connecting to existing electrical services to the east of the proposed substation compound ) for the GIS substation building, a unit substation, lightning masts, drainage and attenuation systems, services, and all associated construction works, and all ancillary works
