“I would like to express my deepest concern about National grid's intention to construct a second line of high voltage power cables across the Isle of Anglesey. This is an island renowned for its beautiful landscape and seascape and is a popular holiday destination for many families. It is not difficult to imagine the detrimental impact a second line of monster pylons will have on the tourism industry, as they spoil the view within, and of, the areas of natural outstanding beauty. I am also very worried about the negative impact a second high voltage power line will have on the health and well being of people and farm animals due to the electromagnetic fields generated. Finally, I am concerned that property prices will be negatively affected, an aspect that has not been at all addressed in National Grid's planning application.
In view of these concerns I urge you to consider alternative solution, such as a subsea connection or undergrounding of cables.
