Pennant Walters has unveiled early stage preparations for an application for a new 48MW wind farm at Mynydd Llanhilleth in Wales.
The company, which is the renewable development arm of the Walters Group, said the proposals will be deemed a ‘Development of National Significance’ (DNS) under current legislation in Wales.
DNS applications are submitted to the Planning Inspectorate Wales for consideration, before being decided by Welsh Ministers, it added.
Part of the site also lies within the Mynydd Llanhilleth Common, meaning that consultation in line with the Commons Act 2006 will also be undertaken.
Pennant Walters said it encourages anyone with an interest in the common land in this area to get in touch through the consultation process.
Large banners have been installed in key locations along the A458 bearing the words Stop Buttington Incinerator . These have been commissioned and installed by the Buttington Incinerator Impact Group (BIIG), an informal grouping of concerned residents who came together to oppose Broad Energy s proposal to build and operate a large industrial waste incinerator at Buttington Quarry. Speaking on behalf of the group, Ian Thompson hoped the banners would encourage residents to take up their cause. We have been opposed to this development from the outset on the grounds that it is quite simply the wrong thing in the wrong place at the wrong time, said Ian.
