Sir
As a concerned resident of Shropshire who will be
effected by powerlines the Mid Wales wind farms I am writing
to ask that the TAN 8 policy be reviewed. Whilst I am sure
that my opinions on the cosmetic effect of the wind farm and the
noise generated for that part of the road will be ignored due to my
post code, frankly what is done to destroy that beautiful part
of the world and the associated tourist economy is up to the
Welsh. The knock on effects of the unsightly powerlines and
the health effects associated with them, increased traffic
in this part of Shropshire will be disruptive and
prolonged during the build phase and should there be any
accidents or emergencies it will be the NHS in Shropshire that will
have to deal with them since the acute healthcare provision in that
part of Powys is woefully lacking.
Regards
Dave Millett
