Residents voice their concerns as a public consultation into the pylons plans comes to a close.
Essex homeowner Bill Doran, pictured with his wife, says his countryside view will soon be blighted by a 55m-high pylon
But he says the landscape behind his garden could soon be blighted by a 55m-high pylon just 100m away, which could see his property’s value drop by £230,000."It is grossly, grossly, unfair but National Grid appears to be a bulldozer which is just ploughing this through. "It will be highly destructive and there really is no need for it – it’s unnecessary destruction of the countryside and I think the whole thing is a sham."Cindy Wooldridge says the integrity of the consultation for the pylons project has been undermined by the lack of any alternative
"There has been no alternative option to consider as part of this proposal and that gives us no real ability to influence the outcome – so there is definitely a bias.has very much been about justifying the project rather than objectively evaluating its impact, and that completely undermines the integrity of the process.
