<p>The Visual Impact Provision (VIP) applies to National Parks, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty in England and Wales, and National Scenic Areas in Scotland. The allowance is available for all of Great Britain’s electricity Transmission Owners to address the impact of existing lines in these areas. To participate in the scheme Transmission Owners are required to develop and submit a policy to Ofgem for approval. National Grid has set out a policy and process for deciding how to allocate funding in its licence area of England and Wales. National Grid’s VIP policy and process have both been approved by Ofgem following consultation with stakeholders. Further information is available at <a href="http://www.nationalgrid.com/VIP" target="_blank">www.nationalgrid.com/VIP</a>. The Scottish Transmission Owners have not developed a policy, so funding is not currently available in Scotland.</p>
