The disruption to thousands of residents from the building of the substations and laying of cables. The light pollution from the site. The size and height of the sub stations. Background noise and potential electromagnetic radiation pollution from the site. Being built on greenbelt land. Displacement of naturally draining water. Potentially causing flooding elsewhere. Disruption to wildlife. Livelihood of farmers affected by the site and cable laying. Laying cables through the sand dunes a SSSI. Site is close to Newton SSSI. Devaluing of property near to the substations. All this need not be done if the cables were taken up the Ribble estuary and taken ashore in South Ribble close to the Howick Cross National Grid Station
