On reaching my decision, I balanced the macroeconomic need for, and the benefits of, upgrading the existing line with the visual and landscape impact at locations along the whole route. The reporters found a compelling need and technical justifications for the overhead line solution. They recognised the pressing need to reinforce the electricity grid to accommodate renewable electricity generation in the north of Scotland. Crucially, they also found that the economic justification for the proposal was strong.

On balance, I concluded that there were strong arguments for a whole-line solution, which outweighed the withholding of consent for the line at the section near Glenside, Plean. I have asked the developers to come forward with imaginative ideas to mitigate the visual impact in this area. I want them to do so as quickly as possible after careful consultation with affected parties.

The best source of data on household size by number of bedrooms is the Scottish House Condition Survey. Due to the size of sample in this survey, it is necessary to combine data from different years to get reasonable sample sizes for local authority areas.

The following table shows the number of single-person households in council housing with more than one bedroom, by local authority and based on Scottish House Condition Survey data for 2005-06, 2007 and 2008 combined.

As these figures come from a survey, the figures are estimates and are also rounded to the nearest thousand. The 95% confidence interval is generally about +/- 1,000 for each local authority figure and about +/- 4,000 for Scotland. The 95% confidence interval is used to determine a range of values within which we believe the true value lies, for example we believe the Scotland total to actually lie somewhere between 81,000 and 89,000 households. The sample size for all of the individual local authority data is very small and therefore these results should be treated with caution.
