Peacock + Smith was engaged by National Grid Ventures to support the pre-application phase of the Nautilus interconnector. The firm provided consenting and project-management support for early-stage siting, routeing and consultation activities associated with onshore infrastructure options including the onshore converter station, landfall and underground cable corridors in East Suffolk. Their work formed part of the project team preparing material for non-statutory consultation and subsequent DCO development and helped to coordinate technical and stakeholder engagement in advance of formal application stages.
