A few points and issues:-
(1) You are now aware of the latest High Court decision which is a victory at that stage of the battle to preserve Mynydd y Gwair, however the judgement seems to imply the message to our opponents of “move the proposed Wind Turbines away from the fragile peat and you’ll get the go ahead”. I hope I am wrong in saying that. However, in the last week of February this year (before this High Court announcement) – a supporter of ours told me he had been out on Mynydd y Gwair and came across three men who were“surveying and probing the peat layers” for assessing which sites would be suitable for a fresh application. So do not get relaxed. The only sure way to kill this is to kill the subsidies and 105 Tory MPs are telling the Prime Minister to do just that. Will he? He needs to be told by all of us and we need to tell all our politicians at every level to kill the subsidies – a simple one sentence letter will do it. Scrap the subsidies!
(2) Yesterday tea time Friday 16-3-10 another mysterious 4X4 vehicle Reg No J288XGK was spotted parked on the common near Capel Gerazim – an observer said “it contained some instruments”. Be vigilant of everything that moves on the commons and keep everyone informed.

Appeal court backs Swanseawind farm plan block
Appeal court judges ruled that the current wind farm plans would
damage peat habitatsRelated Stories
A power
company has been ordered to rethink plans for a wind farm on a peat bog north
of Swansea. The Mynydd y
Gwair plan in Felindre would have become Wales' tallest
onshore wind farm. Appeal court
judges in London overturned an earlier decision allowing the
19 turbine plan, and ruled in favour of the Welsh
government. Planning
inspectors wanted the turbine plan rejected because of the impact on area's peat
bog habitat. The
developer, RWE npower renewables, had successfully challenged that decision in
the High Court. But on
Thursday, three appeal court judges sitting in London quashed that earlier High Court
ruling. Lord Justice
Pill said he supported the original assessment by Welsh planning inspectors and
the wind farm should not be allowed because of "the harmful effect of the
proposed development on the peat bog habitat". The
proposals for the wind farm at Mynydd y Gwair have been the focus of a long
running dispute.
New
plans
The original
plans were rejected by Swansea councillors after it emerged that the 19
turbines would rise to a height of up to 127m
(416ft). It led to a
public inquiry, which again rejected the plans, before a High Court judge agreed
to the proposals in July last year. However, the
latest court ruling blocking the development is unlikely to be the end of the
fight against the wind farm. The appeal
court said it recognised that a wind farm would be acceptable on the current
site, if harm to the peat land could be avoided. The judges
said it was now up to the energy company to come up with new plans to reposition
the wind turbines and access roads, and submit a fresh planning application for
the project.
