The UK Planning Inspectorate’s National Infrastructure Consenting service records that the Continental Link Multi-Purpose Interconnector, an HVDC electric lines project promoted by National Grid Ventures to connect Great Britain to other European markets via the Creyke Beck substation near Cottingham, East Yorkshire, has been withdrawn from the consenting process. The project, which would have run from the UK seaward limit in the North Sea to a landfall on the Holderness Coast with grid connection at Creyke Beck, is now listed with the project stage marked as "withdrawn."
