In addition to Bute Energy's plans for Wind Turbines at Nant Mithel (Radnor Forest), they have announced this week the start of informal consultations on two new energy parks at Aberedw and Bryn Gilwern (Llandrindod Wells). Newsletters are being sent to affected households in the coming days along with consultation events in local communities with the closing date for consultation period on the 20th December.
James Evans MS said: “I urge everyone to have their say in this consultation process and make your views known.”
“The scale of the energy park developments in our area, along with the 60+mile route of Pylons, are on an industrial scale and will have an enormous impact on the landscape, on tourism, on farming and on the everyday lives of communities.
“I asked the Minister for assurances that the visual impact will be taken seriously in the planning considerations, and I will continue my calls for the 60 mile transmission route to be underground in line with Planning Policy Wales.”
“As a development of national significance, it will be Welsh Ministers having the final say on these proposals and I will ensure that I give voice to the communities affected and raise this at every opportunity in the Senedd”
