“I am writing with regard to the North Wales Connection project, as I am very concerned. The National Grid’s intention to construct second high voltage overhead power line will have a detrimental impact on the island, its inhabitants, farm animals and its Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It will spoil the views from within, and of, these areas and therefore have a detrimental impact on the island's tourism industry. This island is unique in terms of its stunning coastline and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and I therefore believe that National Grid’s intention to go ahead with a second line of pylons ignores the voice of the people who live here.
I am also very worried about the pylon's negative impact on people's health due to the electro-magnetic fields generated by two rows of pylons.
Another concern which has not been addressed by National Grid's application is the detrimental effect a second power line will have on property values. It reflects the National Grid’s deplorable lack of engagement with relevant stakeholders, in particular the Isle of Anglesey County Council and the island population. The option of undergrounding of cables or a subsea connection must therefore be considered as a viable solution. ”
