Comments: Perhaps the most bizarre of Bute’s proposals, the planned Garreg Fawr energy park would be about 3 miles north of Sennybridge in Brecknockshire adjacent to the MOD training ground and low flying area. The energy park would completely surround the pretty small village of Llanfihangel Nant Bran with giant turbines leaving it like a modern day Rorkes Drift. The access route (yet confirmed) would appear to be by new tracks over the hills culminating in a passage through the village itself.
