Windfarm developers to appeal weather mast decision ( nation.cymru )

Windfarm developers Bute Energy have confirmed they will appeal the decision by councillors to refuse planning permission for a weather mast at site earmarked for a major wind turbine development.

At a meeting of Powys County Council’s Planning committee on Thursday, 14 March, councillors voted against the proposals for the meteorological mast which would be 120 metres high, and be sited on the location between the Glaslyn Nature Reserve and Llyn Clywedog for a three year period.

In doing so they went against the recommendations of planning officers who recommended the application should be approved.

The application had been made by Esgair Galed Energy Park Limited which is the development vehicle for Bute Energy, who specialise in developing wind and solar energy parks.
