  Dunvegan GSP

  The development comprises construction of a new Brogaig Primary substation, installation of 18km 33kV OHL and re-routing a short 1.4km section of 33kV underground cable route (UGC). The Screening Request relates to the installation of new OHL only. The new substation will be subject to Town and Country Planning Permissions and the UGC can be constructed within the permitted development rights afforded to SHEPD as an electrical undertaker, under Class 40 1 (a) of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (Scotland) Order 1992. The new OHL installation is proposed between the new Brogaig Primary substation (National Grid Reference: NG 45807 68192) and Pole 13, located to East to the A855 on the Northern edge of Loch Leathan in vicinity of (National Grid Reference: NG 50874 52763). The OHL will be installed to include a single circuit rated to 33kV specification on wood pole structures.

  New telecoms mast site on land near Bridge of Balgie, Lawers

  The Project comprises of construction of a new 33kV overhead line spur in order to provide a new connection for a new telecoms mast site situated at Land near Bridge of Balgie, Lawers, Perth. The new 33kv spur will come from current H Pole 43 (as marked on plan) of the current line. The spur will consist of 1 new single poles and 1 new H pole, which will house pole mounted plant equipment and transformer (New pole 1 & 2). The new overhead line will be installed using poles of a wooden variety and both new poles approximately 12 meters in height. The total length of the 33kv overhead line spur will be 24 metres. The overhead line will span between current pole 43 and new pole 2. For information, the line will move to underground cable from the pole 2 to meet the new development. This will be installed under permitted development.
