Here are some of the points for objection but I also encourage you to add some your own personal views as well:-
Haulage ..No Safety assurance of haulage routes, weights of loads, Disruption to residents nearby for years, added Emissions pollution from industrial vehicles, steep gradients, narrow roads. Added Noise.
Systematic Destruction of the Welsh Mountains and countryside...
Wildlife, Biodiversity & Green Space... Ground nesting birds, buzzards etc. Flora, plant life, Peat and a huge variety of biodiversity & the importance of preserving this green space as the area is so built up all around.. A large area of the mountain will be required to be dug up for cabling to the RES developers Sub Station.
Safety risk...
Fire risk Hazard from batteries, electrics all right next to the trees of Nant Gwyddon Forest.
Property Devaluation
Lack Of Public Awareness ... So many local people that were unaware of this development or the wind farms. Land owners consulted behind the scenes but local residents left in the dark
EMF Radiation – lack of information, safety assurance - a very large area will be electrified.
Cumulative effects combining with the proposed wind farms ( basically one large electrical industrial site - nothing Green about it ! )
Remember to add some of your own personal reasons you love the mountain.. living near/ visiting the mountain, Wildlife etc.
Ideally we are looking for as many people as possible to object here as it will give the inspectors a solid idea of peoples strong feelings on this. ( Please don't assume the Councillors and MP's etc will object on our behalf ) as they have remained quiet so far.
You may want to add this petition link:- https://chng.it/MnQP826vgk to your emails to show the volume of people that have signed objecting to this.
Lets all hope common sense prevails.
Have a good Christmas & Many Thanks For your help and Participation! Matt
