Fears are growing that a string of new electricity pylons could soon be seen stretching across the East Anglian countryside - from the north Norfolk coast, to near Ipswich and beyond.
And there are fears that an agreement to put much of the new electricity cable from Bramford to Twinstead, in Essex, underground could be reversed in a cost-cutting measure when it is installed in the next 10 years.
The proposals have been revealed by the National Grid s Electricity Service Operator (ESO), in a report produced for the government showing what new infrastructure is needed to ensure power gets to where it is needed.
