“The consultation was ineffective and not carried out in good faith, as NGET had already published their plans before it commenced, and the only statutory consultation did not consider any other options.

Other technology exists, like underground and subsea, which does not have the negative effects of pylons this has seemingly been dismissed on very basic cost terms with no reference to the cost to the local community.

There are numerous examples where NGET have not followed Government policy, as described in EN-1 and EN-5.
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.
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 industrialised landscape of huge steel towers scarring the island for ever.
There is a huge amount of scientific research into the health effects of pylons, and there are quite different views, a bit like the research into tobacco in the 1950’s and 60’s. There are serious concerns, and conflicting views, about the health impacts on people and farm animals. Better to be safe than sorry and not use pylons.
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 may leave the authority open to legal challenge. Pylons are a poor legacy for future generations.
Unfair and undemocratic – Anglesey and Wales are self-sufficient in energy. The pylons will serve mainly to export power to the south east of England, against the wishes of Anglesey people and all levels of democratic representation.”
