HyNet Carbon Dioxide Pipeline

Received 09 January 2023
From Rostons on behalf of Mr David John Brown, Mr James Edward Brown and Mrs Ruth Brown

Representation

We are extremely concerned about the lack of meaningful and willing engagement both from representatives of the CO2 Pipeline, and also from Senior Stakeholders from all involved in the HyNet scheme, including the Hydrogen Pipeline and Natural Fuel pipeline. All 3 pipelines severely impact the Brown family's land, however no meetings in person have taken place, or been offered by senior stakeholders. These projects, including both the pipeline and associated construction compounds will have a detrimental impact on a significant proportion of the farm for several years, and sterilise a strategic parcel of land from future development from which the family would benefit from. Furthermore there is a concern that such large construction activities will irreparably damage the soil structure causing compaction and flooding and reduce the ability to farm and produce crops when land is finally returned.
