Hurlie substation resubmission objection-Save Our Mearns

Objection

Please take the time to stop and rethink this irreversible ruining of a beautiful area and the Scottish countryside as a whole. This can be done so much better using offshore lines. Please don’t make this mistake for our future generations to have to withstand.

Do not destroy our countryside, once it's gone.... it's gone!

Previous errors have not been corrected. 50 miles away for tree zone is unacceptable.

SSEN have provided neither detailed justification for requirement of this project nor evidence of data driven concept selection.

I object, I also think SSEN should be held accountable for their dubious processes

SSEN are destroying our communities and countryside. They are killing wildlife and destroying the environment. It needs to stop!

No

I totally object to these ridiculously high pylons that will ruin our landscape. Invest the money now to put them underground and save a lot of hassle and money in the future!

Wrong place. SSEN simply choice there cheapest route not the best one for the Community. How come they get two chances ask any house builder that doesn’t happen.

Now moved from Tannadice to Forfar, but still object to the desecration of our countryside and essential farming.

Object

A complete rethink is required on how we sensibly approach ‘net zero’’ what we will destroy in the process and what difference it will make on a global scale . Destroying farmland and countryside is NOT the answer and must be stopped. There is no emergency or 2030 target so get back to the drawing board. Putting this level of electrical infrastructure on prime farmland is utterly insane.

The proposed project poses a considerable risk of permanently changing the character of Fetteresso and its surroundings, while also placing excessive burdens on the local community. This objection outlines the key rationales for advocating against the application's approval, grounded in a thorough assessment of its contradictions with planning regulations, environmental standards, and community welfare concerns. 1: NEGLECT OF CLIMATE COMMITMENTS AND CARBON REDUCTION GOALS: The proposed substation, while backing renewable energy integration, stands in contrast to Scotland's climate and sustainability objectives due to its wider environmental ramifications. The depletion of agricultural land, escalation of industrial activity, and the cumulative adverse effects of the TKUP undermine the region's ability to harmonise energy demands with ecological conservation. Key contradictions encompass: - Agricultural Land Depletion: The irreversible transformation of farmland for industrial purposes diminishes the region's potential for sustainable food production, a crucial element of climate resilience. - Cumulative Environmental Impact: The compounded consequences of the substation and its associated infrastructure will amplify industrialisation in the area, hindering Scotland's overarching carbon targets. The proposal lacks a suitable equilibrium between achieving energy objectives and safeguarding the local environment. 2: DEVIATION FROM NATIONAL ENERGY POLICY AND PRIORITIES: It has been observed that although the substation is presented as a key element of Scotland's renewable energy strategy, its implementation does not entirely align with national energy policy. A project of such magnitude is expected to manifest a resolute dedication to cohesive and sustainable progress, yet the current application is lacking in various aspects. Key concerns include: - Absence of Innovative Solutions: The reliance on established onshore infrastructure, instea

Object on so many grounds it’s not worth mentioning.

Please stop this madness

Objection against pylon and substation

Sub sea cables are the only way. NOmonster pylons. This form of transporting electricity is not viable.
