Environment Minister Lord Gardiner has joined calls for National Grid to put more of its cables underground as it creates a new power route across south Suffolk.
The minister wrote to Robert Erith, President of the Dedham Vale Society, saying that the National Grid should not restrict its underground cables on the Bramford to Twinstead route to the official Stour Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
He said: I share your passionate concerns of the significant impact that this option will have for the landscape value of the Stour Valley.

Momentum is building in Boxted to try and save a historic bridge which has stood for nearly 120 years with more than 5,000 people backing a petition to stop it being replaced.
Residents have deemed the replacement of Boxted Bridge, built in 1901, as a travesty , after Essex Highways carried out investigation work to consider long-term options for the management of the crossing point.
The highways authority said “action must be taken” at the bridge following years of corrosion and damage to its foundation.
Prince Charles favourite architect has dealt a blow to a development dubbed a Poundshop Versailles after plans to erect stables and a riding school at a £7million mansion were rejected.
Quinlan Terry CBE - who helped design Prince Charles traditionalist village, Poundbury in Dorset - is among scores of people opposing the swanky Higham Park mansion development in Suffolk.
Apoplectic conservationists fear extension works on the existing property will blight the bucolic countryside famously painted by John Constable, who lived nearby.
But they can now celebrate a small victory in their planning war against Higham Park owners, lawyer Craig Bisson and his wife Nicole.
