development at this site - the existing Cloon to Lanesboro 110 kV Overhead Line is approximately 65 kilometres long. Approximately 37km of the existing circuit is located within the functional area of Galway County Council with approximately 27km located in County Roscommon and approximately 120 metres located in County Longford. The refurbishment works within County Longford will be undertaken at structure EM365, located within the Lanesboro Substation in the townland of Aghamore (Rathcline By). The development will consist of the refurbishment of the Cloon - Lanesboro 110 kV Overhead Line which will primarily include: replacement of a large proportion of existing structures, the breaking out and reconstruction of the concrete foundation and shear blocks at the majority of end/angle mast structures, painting of mast structures, replacement of insulators, crossarms, stays and/or fittings on existing structures; and the fitting of bird flight diverters and stay guards. No additional structures are proposed along the existing circuit. Any replacement structures will be constructed at, or immediately adjacent to the existing structures they will replace, and will be of a generally similar height and appearance. Associated site development works to gain access to the existing structures include clearance of vegetation, disassembly and reassembly of stone walls and gate posts and removal and reinstatement of existing fencing. The proposed development includes all other associated and ancillary site development works required for the refurbishment of the existing circuit, including the installation of temporary silt traps, silt fences, bog mats and clear span bridges. No additional structures and no alteration to the nature, extent, alignment, character or voltage of the existing electricity infrastructure is proposed.
