Application overview
I am seeking consent for a new small section (2 spans) of 33kV overhead line which will connect onto an existing section of 33kV overhead line at new pole 185a to the east of the Glensheallach transformer, to the north east of the Onich area of Fort William. New single pole 185a will be installed on the existing overhead line and a back-stay will be installed for tee-off. From pole 185a, there will be a new 2 span overhead spur which will consist of two new double poles, with 2 supporting stay wires on pole 2.
