“As an Elected Member of the Isle of Anglesey County Council, representing the Ward of Llifon, I wish to register as an interested party in respect of the Examination of the North Wales Connection Project Development Consent Order application.

I object to National Grid’s proposal for constructing a second overhead power lines across Anglesey as I feel it will potentially have significant adverse impacts on visual amenity, the well-being of residents and communities as well as to business interests, particularly tourism businesses which are of vital long term importance to the Island’s economy. I feel that the only acceptable solution to connecting the Wylfa Newydd development to the National Grid at Pentir is by an undergrounded cable. Whilst accepting that the construction of such a connection will, in itself, result in significant short-term inconvenience and disruption to residents of, and visitors to Anglesey, this is far outweighed by the longer term benefit of not having a second overhead power-line spanning the length of the Island.”
