National Grid’s Viking Link with Denmark has been granted planning approval by a fourth local council in Lincolnshire. The interconnector will run between Bicker Fen near Boston and Revsing in Southern Jutland, Denmark.

As well as a 400 mile undersea cable, the link will include about 40 miles of underground cables installed in four Lincolnshire districts.

South Holland, Boston and North Kesteven have given approval but East Lindsey initially rejected the application.
