What case? The pylons aren't going to destroy the community, businesses, or the area.

You forgot nature. There's no nature near pylons, or something.

The only people who will suffer any hardship at all are home owners whose property might be devalued by the loss of a desirable view.

Ironically the bases of pylons crossing arable fields are mini oasis of rewilding because they're not ploughed.

Also what is claimed about solar farms as well.

New research from Suffolk Wildlife Trust, Cubico, and Broxted Estate provides fresh evidence of the role that well-designed and responsibly managed solar farms can play as powerful catalysts for nature recovery, while generating clean electricity for communities.

The findings, published in a new report, draw on more than a decade of ecological monitoring and active management at Broxted Estate and Solar Farm. Broxted is owned by the Ryder family (through their partnership, Navigator Land LLP) and the solar farm is operated by renewable energy company Cubico[1].

Planning for the solar farm began in 2011 and the site began generating electricity in December 2013. At the time, it was the second largest solar farm in the UK. From the outset, the solar farm has been developed and managed as part of the wider estate, with great emphasis on the landscape including habitat restoration in surrounding land parcels delivering significant ecological and biodiversity uplifts.

Ongoing ecological monitoring of the site by Suffolk Wildlife Trust – in collaboration with Charles Ryder and Cubico – has helped build an important case study for how future renewable energy development could contribute to the energy, biodiversity, and climate crises in tandem.
