We need your help to plot key areas along the 180km pylon route where peoples' views will be affected.
National Grid says that t
here a large number of 'potentially highly sensitive visual receptors' in its study area for the East Anglia GREEN pylons project. These include: - people living and moving around settlements and scattered communities;
- people engaged in outdoor recreation such as those using national and regional cycle routes, long distance walking routes/ regional trails, local PRoW and open access land;
- people visiting Registered Parks and Gardens, promoted tourist destinations such as
viewpoints, publicly accessible cultural heritage features of interest, public parks, golf courses and recreation grounds;
- people travelling along the road and rail network.
However, National Grid has allocated only 41 viewpoint sites along the route to study for its Environmental Statement. See our map of those locations (purple markers):

large gaps, and key areas where the pylons will have an enormous impact, unaccounted for by National Grid.
Please help us to fill in any gaps you see so that we can ask National Grid to carry out a proper, thorough assessment of the impact of its project. To do that, please think carefully about your local area and any 'visual receptor'/viewpoint you know of. Then answer the short survey below. This will give us data to add to the map (yellow markers).
This survey is created by Essex Suffolk Norfolk Pylons action group (www.pylonseastanglia.co.uk), contactable at pylons@mail.com. If you submit your email address below it will only be used by the committee to contact you for further information if required.
