“I accept the fact that we are likely to have a new nuclear power station imposed on us, despite our opposition to the intention.
My submission concerns only one aspect, namely, the proposal by the National Grid to transmit he electricity by an overhead pylon line across the island and the impact this will have. The points I wish to make are set out below.
1. National Grid (NG) appear to work on the premise that as we already have one line of pylons, constructing a second adjacent line will only have a marginal impact on the environment.
2. The public consultation carried out by NG was disingenuous to say the least; it had already published the proposal before it started the process.
3. Opposition to the overhead scheme expressed by: Anglesey Council, our Member of Parliament, our Member of The Welsh Assembly, all the Community and Town Councils, the two Farmers’ Unions and the people themselves (by a 13,000 signature petition) have all been rejected or ignored by NG.
4. All we want is for the NG to run the cables underground, not by over-ground. This option is rejected on cost grounds. What price our landscape, economy, culture?
5. Pylons will be detrimental to tourism, which the island’s economy relies on to a large extent, NG have ignored a report on this aspect.
6. Farmers, landowners and householders close to the pylons will all suffer a reduction in land and house values, not considered as a long-term impact by NG.
7. The scientific research done into electromagnetic fields generated by power lines and the effects on human and animal health indicates that there are risks to health. Not considered by NG.
8. Wales has a Wellbeing of Future Generations Act, not considered by NG. This impact of pylons will affect future generations.
9. The Holford Rules provide guidance on routing over-ground cables. Of the 7 rules, NG have only followed one.
10. NG has not abided by Government Policy, as prescribed in EN-1 and EN-5.
11. NG has not followed the guidance in The Planning Act 2008.
12. The cumulative long-term impact of pylons has not been seriously assessed, considered and acted upon. The mitigation is trivial and inconsequential.
13. Anglesey is an island, green rolling hills, its own natural beauty and a superb coastline; a favourite holiday spot for many. The visual impact of another set of pylons, over a wide area, will permanently devalue the face of our island.
14. The NG is in the process of removing pylons and undergrounding power lines in AONBs and National Parks, why not do this in the first instance on Anglesey?
15. This is our island, our voices need to be heard and the decision must surely be ours to make; ynys ni, ein dewis ni.
