“I am extremely concerned about National Grid's intention to construct a second high voltage power line across the Isle of Anglesey. The detrimental impact of such a line is very worrying. Not only will it have a negative impact on views of areas of outstanding natural beauty, it will also create a no-go corridor of electromagnetic fields. The impact of this on people's and farm animals' health is very worrying. It is also doubtful whether visitors who have come to Anglesey to enjoy the stunning coastline and the beautiful unspoilt beaches will continue to do so. Two lines of monster pylons is the last thing they wish to see.
Another issue which has been omitted completely in National Grid's application is the detrimental effect a second power line will have on property values. This clearly is evidence of National Grid’s lack of engagement with relevant stakeholders, in particular the Isle of Anglesey County Council and the island population. I therefore urge you to consider undergrounding of cables or a subsea connection as a viable option and not allow financial arguments to influence the final decision at the expense of the people of Anglesey.”
