NGET's proposal to impose a second line of pylons upon the Anglesey community is unfair and undemocratic, especially as the pylons will serve chiefly to export power to the South of England.
NGET has prioritised cost considerations above the negative impact of more pylons on the natural environment and the consequent detriment to tourism.
Scant regard has been given to the adverse effect on house values and the detriment to farming through permanent land loss and restricted practices.
Pylons are a poor legacy for future generations, particularly as alternative modern technologies exist for the transmission of electricity, eg. underground and subsea which do not have the negative effects of pylons.
There is a body of scientific research recognising the damaging effects on the health of people and animals living in close proximity to pylons but this seems to have been ignored by NGET.
The consultation was flawed and disingenuous as NGET had already published their plans before it commenced and the only statutory consultation did not consider any other options.
NGET and Horizon appear not to have followed the guidance in The Planning Act 2008 and have not genuinely assessed or consulted on the cumulative effects of a second row of pylons on the people of Anglesey.
