The South Downs Campaign is formally objecting to the application by EDF Energy Networks to renew the overhead power lines between Lewes and Newhaven in the Ouse Valley.

The closing date for objections is June 2.

A campaign spokesman said: 'The overhead lines and their supporting pylons are currently a major blight on the landscape.

'The Ouse valley lies within the Sussex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and designated South Downs National Park (awaiting confirmation) and these overhead power lines are considered by many to be particularly intrusive.
