The presence of high voltage power lines has provoked widespreadconcern for many years. High Voltage ElectricityInstallations presents an in-depth study of policy surroundingthe planning of high voltage installations, discussing the mannerin which they are percieved by the public, and the associatedenvironmental issues. An analysis of these concerns, along with thegeographical, environmental and political influences that shapetheir expression, is presented.
* Investigates local planning policy in an area of the energysector that is of highly topical environmental and publicconcern
* Covers the planning of high-voltage installations, andformulation of local authority policies on high-voltageinstallations across England and Wales
* Features a number of case studies from both rural and urbanareas, along with detailed analysis of these case studies
High Voltage Electricity Installations will be ofinterest to postgraduate students, academics and practitionersalike, in the fields of environmental science, environmentalplanning, environmental policy-making and developments in theenergy sector. It will also appeal to electricity industrypractitioners responsible for the planning of high voltageinstallations.
