the village of Star will have pylons on three sides why is this allowed to happen when there are perfectly acceptable alternative routes where dwellings are not impacted

Pylons will be detrimental to views of unspoilt countryside, particularly views from within, and views of, the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Pylons will be detrimental to the tourism industry through spoilt, and “industrialised”, countryside.
Pylons will be damage farming revenues due to permanent land loss and restricted practices. Pylons will be detrimental to house value, which National Grid have not considered, clearly both personal and community business economies are ignored by National Grid

There is a huge amount of scientific research into the health effects of pylons, and there are quite different views. There are serious concerns, about the health impacts on people and farm animals. There are much better safer alternatives for the connection so why use pylons
Other technology exists, like underground and subsea, which does not have the negative effects of pylons.

Wales is unique in having a Wellbeing of Future Generations Act, and while National Grid are not bound by this law and are ignoring its requirements, the Isle of Anglesey County Council is bound to the act, and more pylons may leave the authority open to legal challenge, particularly in the areas of identified health risks

The consultation was ineffective and not carried out in good faith, as National Grid had already defined their plans before it commenced, and the only statutory consultation did not consider any other options.
There are numerous examples where National Grid have not followed Government policy, as described in EN-1 and EN-5.
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.

Unfair treatment, 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.
