Eco News
Latest news from the front line.Over the past few months Conwy CC turned down an application from a local developer to build a wind farm at Cerrigydrudion . However they did approve an application to build 8 more turbines at Moel Malogan. A wind farm that can be seen from large parts of the national park. Another application to build 4 turbines above Gweddelwern near Corwen has been re-submitted after being unanimously rejected the first time around.
The Welsh Assembly's imfamous TAN 8 energy document has targeted the beautiful Clocaenog Forest and large parts of the Denbigh Moors for turbine development. Over 100 x 300' high turbines will be spread over the area leading to thousands of acres of woodland being clear felled,tracks gouged out of the soft,peaty earth and extensive borrow pits (quarries')created.Add to this...concrete plants on site,oil wastes disposed of into mountain streams,super sized earth movers and lorries trundling along motorway scale forest tracks and you have a nightmare scenario !Thanks Rhodri and Co. The destruction of some of Wales's most beautiful uplands...some legacy !
