Welcome to Beauly- Pylon Capital of ScotlandThe concentration of new powerlines and mega-pylons into the Beauly sub-station at Balblair will devastate swathes of countryside and communities - all in the name of renewable energy targets. How clean or green is a policy that threatens all it is meant to preserve? HEALTH The 2005 Draper report published in the British Medical Journal showed increased rates of childhood leukaemia up to 600 metres from UK high voltage powerlines. WILDLIFE AND THE ENVIRONMENT Woodlands around Beauly support rare Red kites, Ospreys, Wildcats, Otters - protected by European law. VISUAL IMPACT The developer admits: 'The scale of the development is such that the visual intrusion resulting from construction of the line is difficult to reduce.' PROPERTY VALUES A 2005 Oxford Brookes University study found detached homes near high voltage powerlines could be valued 38% less than similar properties in the same area. TOURISM Visitors come to this area for salmon fishing, wildlife, landscape and relaxation. The developer produces NO comprehensive assessment to show the effects of converging multiple powerlines on our local economy. |
