A closing submission on a controversial pylon project has been blocked from publication by the Scottish Government because it may contain offensive material.

SP Energy Networks lodged its summary justifying construction of the Glenlee-Tongland overhead line section of the Kendoon-Tongland Reinforcement (KTR) with the planning and environmental appeals division (DPEA) on June 19.

A link to the lengthy document appeared on the DPEA website on July 4. But members of the public hoping to read the full submission are still unable to do so.

Instead, a statement on the site reads: “DPEA will not publish comments which in their view may be liable to cause offence. “The applicant’s closing submissions will still be taken into account by the reporters in their consideration of the proposal and sent to energy consents unit with their completed report.” The campaign group Galloway Without Pylons (GWP) lodged its final submission on May 10 with the DPEA making it publicly available the following day.
