This application had been validated by PEDW and all objections of comments must be received by them before the 10th of February
(The documents seem to be designed and arranged in a way to make examining them as difficult as possible! “Pre-Submission Docs” are probably not relevant now. If anyone is prepared to take a good look at these documents and advise further please get in touch)
Construct and operate a wind farm of up to four turbines (with a maximum blade tip height of 145m) and associated infrastructure
The Trecelyn Wind Farm by Pennant Walters will have four turbines (with a maximum blade tip height of 145m) and associated infrastructure situated above Pantside and Hafodyrynys..
The development site starts where Old Pant Road meets Abercarn Mountain Road and includes Abercarn Mountain Road and a lot of land either side of that road. It includes a lot more land than would seem necessary.
One of the turbines will be in an enclosure on the left after you cross the cattle grid onto the common. If you turn right, the other three turbines will be in fields either side of the road as you travel down Twyn Road towards Llanfach or Cwmcarn, after you leave the common.
The traffic accessing the mountain via Central Avenue, Pantside, Old Pant Road and Abercarn Mountain Road will cause considerable problems for Pantside residents, even with just these 4 turbines. However once you add the other the other two wind farms (making a total of 21 turbines) and the Cil Lonydd Solar Farm the cumulative result will be around 80,000 vehicle movements through Pantside.
These vehicles include the heaviest and largest vehicles allowed on public roads plus thousands of concrete lorries. Lamp posts, signposts, handrails, trees, a roundabout and traffic islands will be removed and parking will be restricted. Abercarn Mountain Road will be widened and diverted through adjacent fields over half of its length and dry stone walls will be removed. If all the proposals are passed this disruption will occur over 2 to 3 years.
21 turbines means 63 turbine blades plus 84 other massive loads with mast and nacelle components. Cranes, including the largest in the UK will also require access in and out plus thousands of concrete lorries, workers vehicles etc.
Much of the other information on this website is relevant to this proposal. The time to act is now!
