A planning application has been submitted to build a new substation in Letchworth.

The proposal, submitted by Wheatley Group Developments Ltd, would see the substation built in a small car park outside Camfield House in Avenue One.

As part of the plans, four existing car parking spaces would remain, but others would be removed to provide access to the site, and another would become parking for the electric facility.
