“Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing with regard to the North Wales Connection project, as I am deeply concerned about National Grid’s intention to construct second high voltage overhead power line in addition to the existing one. The negative impacts such a power line will have on Anglesey and its inhabitants cause grave concern for a number of reasons:
I am particularly worried about the health impact on people and farm animals due to the strong electro-magnetic fields generated by two lines of high voltage power lines. More pylons will be detrimental to the tourism industry as they will have a negative impact on vie, not only within, and views of, the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Visitors who come to enjoy Anglesey's Areas of Natural Outstanding Beauty do so to escape the industrial environments of Manchester and Liverpool, for example, not to be confronted with monster pylons.
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 very proud of my Welsh heritage and therefore strongly object to National Grid going ahead with this proposed development, as it will ruining parts of this beautiful island.
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 adopted as a viable solution.
