This leaet gives a broad overview o the proposals and provides inormation on
where urther details can be obtained. The leaet also sets out how you can have
your say on the project and make comment on the preerred routes.
Copies o the Public Consultation Document, which sets out the ull details o how the
preerred routes have been selected, are available or review. I you require a copy o
this document or yoursel you can view it on the internet at:
www.sppowersystems.co.uk/networkservices/perormance.asp
or you can request a CD ROM by contacting:
or by writing to:

Please stipulate i you require a hard copy o the report.
A public exhibition will be held in early summer 2009 to present the project and also
allow you to ask questions to members o the project team and make comments on
the proposals. Your eedback is a vital part in the process o fnalising preerred routes
which consider the environmental issues along with public opinion.
You can also submit your comments, to SPT, by email at:
Following submission o comments and responses, SPT will ound upon a proposed
route or each connection. These will be carried orward to Environmental Impact
Assessment (EIA) the results o which will be reported in an Environmental Statement
(ES).
SPT will use the ES to support its two Section 37 applications (one or each connection)
under the Electricity Act 1989 to the Scottish Ministers or consent to install and operate
the overhead lines.

Public Consultation Leaet
It is proposed that the transmission lines would be built using a heavy duty pole line.
The poles would have a nominal height o around 13m-15m, and would support three
conductors (wires) in a horizontal at ormation, as shown in the above photographs.
The spacing between the poles will vary depending on topography and altitude and
will be determined ater a detailed line survey, but will be in the range o 70m-90m.
Line construction typically ollows a standard sequence o operations which are:
4 Prepare access
4 Install pole oundations
4 Erect poles
4 String conductors
4Reinstate pole sites and remove temporary accesses
It is preerred to have vehicular access to every pole site or oundation excavation
and pole installation. Access routes and detailed arrangements will be agreed with
each landowner or tenant prior to construction. Access can take various orms and is
dependent on ground conditions. In poorer conditions temporary access works may
be required, which can vary rom laying temporary wooden or aluminium matting to
installing crushed stone roads. Ground disturbed during construction o the new lines
will be reinstated.
Every eort will be made to cause least disturbance to landowners and local residents
during construction. The routes o the lines are selected to avoid as ar as possible
communities and individual dwellings and to provide a sympathetic ft with the
surrounding landscape.
