Key issues
1. The process was flawed as no detailed costings were given or chance given to select an all underground or undersea option during Consultation.
2. Plans for a third row of pylons, and continuation of the pylons from Pentir into the National Park are now coming to light. Landscape degradation by piecemeal applications, when a full project is known, is cynical exploitation.
3. Relating the overland pylon route, vis-à-vis undergrounding, to the future of Wylfa Newydd, as National Grid spokesmen have done, is irrelevant.
4. The economy of Anglesey is hugely dependent on tourism and farming.
Many people come to get away from industrial landscapes to experience the beautiful unspoilt scenery. They do not want to see it disfigured with giant pylons and desecrated for future generations. Nor does the community wish to see the value of property, or businesses adversely impacted.
5. The overland route places the short term financial return to National Grid shareholders above the long term economic, cultural and landscape future of a whole community. One of the poorest communities in the country, Anglesey, would effectively be used to increase earnings per share of stockholders and I assume reflected in Directors’ Short or Long Term Performance Plans.
6. An Overhead Line (OHL) of much smaller pylons already exists along most of National Grid’s preferred route. National Grid believes that people will not object to additional pylons that are twice as high and more than twice as wide. They are wrong as evidenced by the continuing opposition by our Elected Representatives and many others.
7. Wales is unique in having a Wellbeing of Future Generations Act, and a vehicle for putting this into practice is the tenth edition of Planning Policy Wales (PPW10). Should this proposal be granted, it would be in direct contravention of Welsh planning policy (as well as Ofgem’s principal objective “… to protect the interests of existing and future electricity … consumers”.
