## Resource

Highland Council has launched a fierce stand against SSEN Transmission’s colossal 200-kilometer power line, featuring 529 steel towers from Spittal to Beauly — the biggest planning battle they’ve ever faced. After seven grueling hours of debate, council planners unanimously rejected the proposal, joining 14 community councils and over 2,300 public objections. Councilors called the plans “depressing” and questioned how a Net Zero project could harm protected landscapes, while also warning of years of construction chaos, including thousands of extra A9 vehicles. Substations linked to the project are already under fire. Though the Scottish Government holds the final decision, this powerful local and public backlash is forcing a reckoning on energy needs versus environmental protection.
