National Grid today announced their decision for their choice of route for the proposed new Hinkley C connection through North Somerset. The route will predominantly follow route corridor 1A with some variations onto corridor 2 as outlined in National Grid’s public ‘consultation’. With respect to Yatton specifically it seems that the pylons will follow the route of the existing power lines to the west of the village.
