I mentioned before that I will be sharing more posts about the destruction of pristine countryside here in Suffolk for the sake of "green" energy. This diagram shows part of the plans. From here you can see the extent of the industrialisation - but what is not obvious is that a number of this shaded areas are actually huge concrete industrial buildings. Also to note - this is rural countryside without the road infrastructure to support this level of industrialisation.
There are alternative options using brown field sites and offshore - but they will cost more and National Grid is a private company so is naturally concerned about profits, rather than saving what little precious countryside is left in the UK.
This year has been the worst on record for many insects and wildlife in the UK, including butterflies. I have seen this first hand in my little garden - I had 1 bee and 10 butterflies where previously my garden was full of insects. We should be doing all we can to save what is left of nature and digging it up is a terrible option. Once it's gone and built on it's gone for ever.
Please join me in raising your concerns, raising awareness and support the drive to build on brown field sites and save the British countryside and nature.

⚠️⚠️NAUTILUS INTERCONNECTOR ⚠️⚠️
The recently published proposals by National Grid Ventures (NGV) concerning Nautilus Interconnector (to connect up to 1.4 GW of offshore wind in the UK to Belgium) combined with the planning applications for ScottishPower Renewables (SPR) East Anglia One North (EA1N) and East Anglia Two (EA2) offshore wind projects reveal the hard evidence that Suffolk Coast and Heaths is in grave danger of mass industrialisation.
The onshore devastation can be seen all too clearly on the map which shows kilometres of additional cable corridors gouging through our protected landscapes and a further converter station looming 24 metres high and concreting over an additional 12 acres of greenbelt land.
This could impact on additional communities including Theberton, Kelsale, Leiston, Sternfield, Snape and Saxmundham.
(To be clear, SEAS are not in favour of any of the onshore routing and converter siting options that have been presented by NGV.
If NGV is truly committed to protecting rural coastal communities then they must bring forward a grid connection on a brownfield site.)
