Objection points

Case reference:  ECU00006008 

• Need case for the proposed development not proven, government energy strategy lacking.

• No confidence in route selection process to deliver a trustworthy outcome.

• Public engagement was 'decide and defend' for a preferred pylon route option from the outset, consultation a complete failure.

• Environmental impacts that can't be mitigated (amenity, nature, landscapes, cultural heritage).

• Socio-economic benefits during construction very small, NPF4 policy 11 not satisfied.

• Cumulative impact offers nothing but disruption and destruction, no lasting benefit for us.
