Thank you for the invitation to respond to the consultation on the latest detailed designs of the route of the North Wales Grid Connection, and for copies of the application and supporting documents. It is noted that the majority of its length will run overground, close to the existing connection.
The National Park Authority previously provided comments during November 2016, which was during an earlier consultation regarding the route of the connection, and concerns were expressed by the Park Authority on the National Grid’s preferred option of overgrounding the majority of the route.
Whilst it is acknowledged that NG has made efforts to reduce the visual and landscape impacts on the Anglesey AONB; some concerns remain and are reiterated here regarding the potential impact on the broader landscape setting of Snowdonia National Park. The high mountains of Snowdonia are visible over long distances and provide a dramatic backdrop to views from Anglesey as are highlighted in many of the photomontages provided (e.g. page 8/9 of 5.29 part 2, page 12 of 5.29 part 3, page 8 of 5.29 part 5 and page 9 of 5.29 part 6 – there are potentially more but it is dependent on the direction that the picture was taken).
Therefore the new overhead lines, in combination with the existing route, has the potential (as is evident in a number of the photomontages/viewpoint assessments) to harm the views of the mountains of Snowdonia and the hills of the Ll?n AONB from many parts of the island.
The National Park Authority welcomes the proposals to underground the cables under the Menai Straits, but the National Park Authority would also welcome further consideration to be given to additional undergrounding of the connection, along the chosen route to avoid further impacting the setting of the National Park.
