Removal of permitted overhead line from permitted polesets north of Local Road L2084 (previously numbered polesets 1-40 consented under Pl. Ref: 21/1057) for a distance of circa 4km and its replacement with c. 6.5km of underground electrical cabling along unnamed Local Roads. c. Relocation of permitted poleset number 40 (consented under Pl. Ref: 21/1057) 7m (meters) south. Redesign of poleset number 40 from double (as permitted under Pl. Ref: 21/1057) to triple (termination) poleset. The entirety of the grid connection from Crossmore Wind Farm to the existing Booltiagh 110kV electrical substation will therefore comprise c. 5.5km of overhead line (poleset numbers 41-93 conscented under Pl. Ref: 21/1057) c. 6.5km of underground cable (proposed under subject application) 2. Site Drainage 3. All associated site development and ancillary works.
