Sylw

Wales is unique in having a Wellbeing of Future Generations Act, and while National Grid Electricity Transmission (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.
Anglesey and Wales are self-sufficient in energy. The pylons will serve mainly to export power to the South East of England, Anglesey will bear the brunt against the wishes of its people and all levels of democratic representation.
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. After petitions and objections against a second row of pylons overland, NGET would not consider or discuss any other option.
Pylons will be detrimental to the tourism industry through spoilt, and “industrialised”, countryside.
There is a huge amount of scientific research into the health effects of pylons, and there are quite different views that NGET chose to disregard and there are serious concerns, and conflicting views, about the health impacts on people and farm animals and future generations. It would be safer without pylons or do the people of Anglesey not count?
Other technology exists, like underground and subsea, many are being done now in less populated areas much larger than Anglesey therefore it does not have the negative effects of pylons above ground.
We believe that NGET and the Wylfa Newydd project have not followed the guidance in The Planning Act 2008, and at no point has the genuine cumulative impact been assessed or consulted on for the people of Anglesey particularly in the North of the Island.
