Overhead power lines on English farmland – we want your feedback

Overhead power lines on a farm

We need your insight into the state of infrastructure across English farmland. Take our short survey before 6 January 2025 and help feed into our lobbying asks. 

As part of the NFU’s work on safety when working around OHPLs (overhead power lines), this survey is being conducted in order to understand the state of the infrastructure across English farmland, and the challenges that those working in agriculture face with OHPLs.

Whether you have one pole with power line infrastructure or 100, your insight into the realities of the network infrastructure is of huge value.

The questions within the survey will help give NFU policy advisers an insight into:

  • the amount of infrastructure across English farmland
  • the state of the infrastructure
  • interaction with Distribution Network Operators who manage the infrastructure, and
  • how you manage farming the land with the presence of the infrastructure.

This survey is anonymous, but responses may be used to help support NFU asks of the overhead power line industry and their representative bodies.
