It is important to use the words “I object” in your letter, otherwise your letter may be taken merely as a comment.
Here are some suggestions based on feedback in the community we have gathered:
- Landscape and visual impact
- Alternatives of underground or offshore not considered
- Not for benefit of Scottish communities, primarily for export
- Health concerns from industrial strength line with high voltage.
- Mental health and wellbeing impact
- Impact to future economic prospects of communities – reduction in house prices, less attractive to new residents.
- No proper assessment or meaningful consultation.
- Poor consultation process
- Cumulative environmental impact not considered – no overall assessment of the impact of the whole line.
- Nature, environment, biodiversity
- Long-term negative economic effect for communities relating to reduction in property values, reduced ability to sell.
