EHG4697 - DBA and Walkover Survey - Stronelairg Windfarm buried cable grid connection route

A grid connection is required between the proposed Stronelairg windfarm and the existing Beauly- Denny overhead transmission line which passes to the south of the windfarm area. The grid connection will take the form of a buried cable. A the commection point there will be a new electricity substation. In addition, these works will require the upgrading of access, particularly permanent access to the substation. These proposed developments have the potential to impact on archaeological sites, areas with the potential for sub-surface archaeological remains and deposits, and areas of cultural or historic interest. This evaluation identifies all recorded archaeological sites and areas of cultural heritage interest and predicts areas where sub-surface features are most likely to be located. It places these sites within a local, regional and national archaeological and historical context. <1>
