520			_aReviews the legal and practical issues that can arise when overhead electricity cables are removed. Burying is the most feasible method of hiding electricity cables while maintaining energy supply. Provides an overview of the electricity supply and distribution system governed in England and Wales primarily by the Electricity Act 1989, as amended by the Utilities Act 2000 and the Energy Act 2004. Looks at the duties of electricity companies under the 1989 Act and the powers available to licence holders which can apply when laying underground cables: wayleaves, compulsory purchase and street works. Considers the practical issues for developers and technical issues such as methods of burying cables, electromagnetic fields and costs. Concludes that electricity undertakers have the powers and the technical ability to bury overhead cables but are concerned about who bears the cost for such works and the possible increase in demand for cable burial elsewhere.
