“I would like to submit my concerns about the proposal by the National Grid to transmit the electricity by an overhead pylon line across the island and the impact this will have.
National Grid (NG) appear to work on the premise that as we already have one line of pylons, building a second line will only have a minimal effect on the environment.
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. All we want is for the NG to run the cables underground, not by over-ground. This option is rejected on cost grounds. In comparison to the overall project cost, currently £12billion (historical evidence indicates this is likely to double and be years late!) this is small change. What price our landscape, economy, culture?
Anglesey is a lovely island, green rolling hills, its own natural beauty and a superb coastline and a favourite holiday spot for many. We already have more than enough pylons and wind farms. The visual impact of another set of pylons, over a wide area, will permanently compromise the landscape of our island.
The National Grid is in the process of removing pylons and undergrounding power lines in AONBs and National Parks, why not do this in the first place on Anglesey?
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.
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.
The public consultation carried out by NG was cynical to say the least; it had already published the transmission proposal before it started the process.
The cumulative long-term visual and environmental impact of pylons has not been seriously assessed or considered.
Wales has a Wellbeing of Future Generations Act, not considered by National Grid. This impact of pylons will affect future generations.
National Grid has not abided by Government Policy, as prescribed in EN-1 and EN-5.
National Grid has not followed the spirit of the guidance in The Planning Act 2008.
The Holford Rules provide guidance on routing over-ground cables. Of the 7 rules, National Grid has only followed one. Whilst being guidance only the Holford Rules should be followed in sensitive locations such as Anglesey.
Scientific research into electromagnetic fields generated by power lines and the effects on human and animal health close to power lines indicates that there are risks to health. Not considered by NG.
The National Grid is riding roughshod over the views of residents and local government, is intransigent and determined to push forward with overhead cables. This is our island; surely we have the right to determine our future?
