“1) The democratic and consultation process is flawed as the Ynys Mon County Council and all the Community Councils and the majority of the population are against another set of pylons marching across our island due to the adverse effects it will have on health, environment, tourist industry and the AONB etc.etc.
2)The technology exists for the cables to transmit power sub sea or buried underground .I understand that in Cumbria they are being buried underground as it is a National Park and in in Morcambe Bay they are being laid sub sea . Anglesey is a special island as the AONB is all round our coastline and the island is a designated UNESCO Geopark . Why should we be treated differently when virtually all the power is going to England ?
3)The larger pylons will result in an industrialised landscape and create a precedent for additional rows of pylons when future supplies of energy need to be trasported to England .
4)The structures will blight our valuable landscape and have an adverse effect on our most important industy ; tourism .They will also also have an adverse visual impact as they will be seen from the AONB and the coastal path .
5)The Welsh Government Future Generations Act needs to be addressed . The cables and supports will hardly improve the economic and environmental conditions .
6)The security risks need addressing with an overhead line and this includes acts of terrorism . If there is an attack there is no industry on the island that can use the surplus energy .
7) The costs saved by not tunnelling under the Menai Straits and using the supports of the third bridge ( this may be constructed before any power station ) should definitely be used to bury the cables underground . ”
