A series of planning applications for solar farms will, cumulatively, have a devastating impact on one of Wales' most unusual landscapes - the Gwent Levels. Jonathon Hill reports
This piece had me tearing what hair I’ve got left out for the totally inconsistent use of measurements of land areas. Can I suggest that you re-edit it, using acres as the principle measurement of area , perhaps offering a metric measurement in brackets , though I doubt many readers could envisage a square kilometre. The piece hardly touches on what the impact would be on the ecology of the levels if all these proposed sites were developed. I would have liked to have known if the grid has the capacity to accept all this power and what the infrastructure implications would be if it doesn’t in terms of power transmission. If lots of pylons will be needed that has huge environmental impact visually. Altogether a totally inadequate piece about a huge development.
