The consultation was ineffective and not carried fully considering the views of the Anglesey residents, National Grid had already published their plans before consultation commenced, and the only statutory consultation did not consider any other options

There are numerous examples where NGET have not followed Government policy, as described in EN-1 and EN-5.

Impact to tourism is ignored by National Grid and no attempt to value the cost in jobs and revenue which will impact Anglesey as a result of the installation of over a hundred huge steel towers has been considered

NGET and Horizon have not followed the guidance in The Planning Act 2008, and at no point has the genuine cumulative impact been assessed or consulted on.

Pylons will be detrimental to the tourism industry through spoilt, and “industrialised”, countryside. Pylons will be detrimental to farming due to permanent land loss and restricted practices. Pylons will be detrimental to house value, which NGET have not considered.

There is a huge amount of scientific research into the health effects of pylons, and there are quite different views. However there are serious concerns, about the health impacts on people and farm animals. This needs to be fully evaluated before considering pylons ,, it has not!
Wales is unique in having a Wellbeing of Future Generations Act, and while NGET are not bound by this law, Isle of Anglesey County Council is, and more pylons will leave the authority open to legal challenge should for example health issues surface in the future.
