“Hi RWE, I submitted a basic response to the Awel Y Mor consultation previously (06/09/21) but upon further reading of the documentation provided I would like to offer some further information from a residents point of view please. (REDACTED) Within the documentation there are several references to the 30mph speed limit along Glascoed Rd B5381. Unfortunately this assumption is incorrect, upon leaving St Asaph Business Park (heading West) the limit changes to a national speed limit (clearly signed) 60mph and remains so beyond the crematorium as well as the houses adjacent to the proposed substation access points. I also note that the detriment to the view from the properties is scored as low because 'high' hedges are alongside the road, this may be the case during the brief period that the hedges are in full leaf (maximum 3 1/2 months per annum) but as they are not evergreen and are also regularly trimmed down to approx 4-5 foot high, therefore the substation shall be much more visible for the majority of the year than is reported. This is also the case with regard properties number 7 & 8, there is very few trees in the garden of the lodge opposite and as they are again only in full leaf for short periods of the year (none are evergreen) this will allow the substation to be seen for a substantial period of the year. Although the report / documentation seems comprehensive much of the information contained could be interpreted as trying to 'pull the wool over peoples eyes' with regard the impact that it will have on our quality of life. Computer generated images of hedgerows are (imo) nowhere near being true representations. Photographs taken of the area have been taken from the lowest possible level (some 2 metres below the doorways of the lowest property in our row) they therefore do not give a true representation of the visual impact which we will be forced to endure. Although we understand devaluing our property is not deemed a legitimate planning concern we believe that the c£50k that we have invested in our property is now wasted. The equity that we have build is lost and the views / vistas from the front of our property (which include a full aspect of the Northern end of The Clwydian Range) will be ruined forever. At present we see mountains, woodland and green farmland (genuine pictures available upon request) which seems soon to be replaced by a monstrous civil engineering project that will result in a constant drone of noise from the transformers as well as high levels of light pollution. The proposed substation will sit almost parallel with the 8ft wall which surrounds Bodelwyddan Castles protected parkland but as we notice the lighting for the new site will be 18mtrs high its safe to say that the features of the new construction will have a significant visual impact on all surroundings. The proposed substation will be a blight on the landscape, the local wildlife and furthermore a blight on our lives, although we understand the need for further transition to renewable energy the significant impact that this chosen location will have on our small residential community is high and seems unacceptable. Kind Regards, MG (REDACTED)”
