On 2 September 2025 National Grid submitted the Eastern Green Link 5 Environmental Impact Assessment Scoping Report (Volumes 1–3, appendices and figures) to the Secretary of State / Planning Inspectorate. The scoping submission documented study areas, routing and siting considerations, environmental constraints (ecology, ornithology, heritage, fisheries, shipping), and figures to define the scope of the forthcoming EIA/Environmental Statement for the English onshore and inshore elements of EGL5.
