Electricity Pylons

[Polgara2]

What does everyone think about the latest scare about living too close to pylons? Would you move to a house that is say 150-200 m away from a pylon? New build house we have seen is

[Twiglett]

there's far more research to be done and the numbers potentially affected are tiny

but honestly, no I wouldn't live anywhere near a pylon if I could help it

[tiddlypom]

No, sorry.

[suedonim]

No, I wouldn't. Irrespective of whether they do or don't cause illness, the seed of doubt has been planted in people's minds, which I think would devalue a house and make it harder to sell in future.

[Hulababy]

Have to say that I don't think that I would. Also, especially in rainy/windy weather they can be quite noisy - you can definitely hear the sound of the electrivity at times.

Sorry haven't been able to get back to this til now. In a mad frenzy of house tidying . You're just echoing my thoughts really - oh buggar - back to searching for somewhere else we like then. Good job it wasn't our dream house. This house moving business is way, way too hard!!!
