“This application should not happen as it has been made very clear by the populations of Anglesey and Gwynedd that over-land pylons are not acceptable to them. It will be detrimental to the local scenery and therefore tourism, also to house values and farming. Health issue should also be considered, not only for reasons of the detrimental effect on the population re the pylons themselves but also for the main end game of the pylons, which is to power a nuclear power station that is inherently dangerous, even if there were to be just one accident, never mind the problem of nuclear waste, which has not been planned for.
If cables were to be implemented for that purpose, then better solutions exist and are preferred by the local community; that is underground or subsea cables. These could increase bill payers cost by 11p/year - not a huge cost to retain the beauty of rural Wales. The whole cost, of course, will be very much higher than scrapping this outdated power form and putting finance into sustainable, green energy.
