The intention is to build a substation next to our house which is just 2.5 years old. I support the scheme but not the current land route to connect to the National Grid. The project assumptions include a connection at Penwortham. We need reasons why a connection cannot be possibe at 1. Stannah, 2. Heysham or 3 up the Ribble. We live next to greenbelt with lots of protected species including owls, toads, bats and great crested newts. We were not notified of the earlier consultation. The results have not been published. Our area is already known for flooding and these massive developments will increase surface run off and pose a threat to our homes. I know of no one locally who supports this current controversial land route for the connection point to the National Grid. This proposal as it stands will cause us massive disruption and mental health issues with the noise and associated industrialisation of our rural environment.
