The Proposals

The June 2023 Infrastructure layout does not show the nearest houses, why? It does show the Roads, the “borrow pits” (Quarries) and a minute temporary construction compound.


There is no doubt about it, the wind farm proposed by RES on Mynydd Maen is massive and it will adversely affect the lives of people who live nearby.

Each turbine will be 150m high, and there will be 13 of them crammed up on top of our beautiful mountain.

One will dominate The Square, all will be visible from Pantygasseg, yet the drawing above has avoided including either place.

Two of them will dominate Cwm Lickey.

The largest turbine in England, the same size as the 13 proposed on Mynydd Maen

There is only one single turbine of this size in England, on an industrial estate in Avonmouth  on waste land between a power station and a massive scrap yard. Turbines you have seen on your travels are probably only half this height, and less numerous.

Note, Although this is called Mynydd Maen wind farm and it is on what is locally known as Mynydd Maen it is more accurately described as Mynydd Twyn Glas, the trig point being 472m high. This is higher than Twmbarlwm at 419m.
The Twmbarlwm / Mynydd Maen ridge is the first high ground you see in Wales after crossing the Severn Bridge and it is a beautiful walk.
