The AQUIND proposal is based upon siting two six/seven storey buildings on some 9 acres of land in the middle of farming country, with close proximity to the South Downs National Park. In order to achieve this it requires them to run four HVDC through one of the most populace area in the country. This a huge imposition on the population causing chaos and loss of amenity. The company which is proposing the project has no track record in this area. Also for reasons, which are not transparent they are offshoring the company. It was initially based in Wallsend, then British Virgin Islands and now Luxembourg. I suggest that a UK Infrastructure project should be funded by the British people and surplus funds returned to people. At the moment the source and the legality of the funding is not transparent.
