Sir/Madam

I have joined in with earlier stages of this planning application from National Grid Electricity Transmission Plc and throughout my objection to this scheme has been based upon it being a "land" connection. Here is the perfect opportunity for a seabed connection to the major substation at Connaghs Key. Not only would it provide a HV connection from Wylfa B but also other electricity generating plants could "plug" into it, here I am minded of the off-shore wind farms off the N. Wales coast. Every time I have voiced this option to National Grid they have come back to me with the argument "too expensive." But what price the rich tapestry of landscapes that is Ynys Mon! Neither is the argument that the route across the Isle parallels an existing pylon line so its effect on the landscape and visual amenity is diminished, with a seabed connection across Liverpool Bay there would be no need for either the proposed land connection or the existing line - it could be dismantled.

Shortly after receiving the last newsletter from National Grid about the progress of this scheme I read in the National Press, and on National TV, of the new seabed inter-connector being installed between Norway and the north of England - my question remains - why is such a transmission line not the way ahead in N. Wales?
