“Wales is unique in having a Wellbeing of Future Generations Act, and while NGET are not bound by this law, Isle of Anglesey County Council is, and having a second row of 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 it’s people and all levels of democratic representation.
The consultation flawed as NGET had already published their plans before it commenced, and the only statutory consultation did not consider any other options. After many objections against a second row of pylons overland NGET would not listen to the people of Anglesey
Pylons will be detrimental to the tourism industry which the Island North with the cumulative effect impact not considered, assessed or consulted on. The North of Anglesey will become a spoilt, and “industrialised”, countryside.
There is a huge amount of scientific research into the health effects of pylons, NGET chose to disregard this research, and conflicting views, about the health impacts on people and farm animals and future generations, or do the people of Anglesey views or concerns not count.
Other technology widely exists, like underground and subsea, Anglesey’s wishes should be respected by undergrounding of cables
