“Unfair and undemocratic – Anglesey and Wales are self-sufficient in energy. The pylons will serve mainly to export power to the south east of England, against the wishes of Anglesey people and all levels of democratic representation.

Pylons will be detrimental to the tourism industry through spoilt, and “industrialised”, countryside. Pylons will be detrimental to farming due to permanent land loss and restricted practices. Pylons will be detrimental to house value, which NGET have not considered. More pylons will be detrimental to Ofgem achieving their principal objective “… to protect the interests of existing and future electricity … consumers”.

Wales is unique in having a Wellbeing of Future Generations Act, and while NGET are not bound by this law, Isle of Anglesey County Council is, and more pylons may leave the authority open to legal challenge. Pylons are a poor legacy for future generations.”
