It is time for a 21st century solution to the issue of electricity transmission. Subsea or undergrounding would erase the terrible visual effects on the landscape.
Pylons will be detrimental to views of unspoilt countryside, particularly views from within, and views of, the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Pylons will create a negative impact on the Anglesey tourism industry through spoilt, and “industrialised”, countryside.  This will last for many years to come. Anglesey depends on tour of for its economic wellbeing. If tourism decreases, as it will be, then the incomes of many people will be drastically effected.
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”.
There is a huge amount of scientific research into the health effects of pylons, and there are quite different views, a bit like the research into tobacco in the 1950’s and 60’s. There are serious concerns, and conflicting views, about the health impacts on people and farm animals.  Better to be safe than sorry and not use pylons.
