Awaiting decision Caerphilly 26/0561/NMA Non-Material Amendments

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

Seek approval of a non material amendment to planning consent 25/0342/NCC (Vary condition 2 of 23/0427/DNS (Construct and operate up to 14 wind turbines and associated infrastructure including: hardstanding areas to include turbine foundations, crane hardstanding and laydown/storage area with associated micrositing allowances; electrical substation and control building with underground power cables; new access route connecting onto the A472; onsite access tracks, with pipeline and watercourse crossings; borrow pit(s); anemometer mast; temporary construction and storage compound with associated lay down areas near to the Site entrance; Habitat Management Area; and offsite works to facilitate the movement of abnormal loads such as the construction of over-run areas and temporary modifications to street furniture) to amend the approved plans to increase the rotor diameter of the wind turbines, increase the height of the on-site transformer, and enlarge the grid connection corridor) to vary the wording of condition 37 (PROW) to include the below wording: Following the application of the micro-siting protocol (condition 39), if the location of turbine 7 (as shown on ES Figure 4.1a: Infrastructure Layout) would mean that the blades of turbine 7 oversail the public right of way (GELI/BWY117E/1) then no blades can be erected on turbine 7 until the public right of way has been diverted to ensure the blades do not oversail

About amendment applications

An amendment application makes limited changes to a permission that already exists; anything beyond modest adjustment needs a fresh application. More in our guide to planning application types.
