A CONTROVERSIAL windfarm has come under fire from protesters following the release of a government report. Last week the Welsh Affairs Committee met to discuss the Report on Energy in Wales, documenting the future of such industries in Wales. But protestors against the North Hoyle project gained fresh impetus after the committee criticised misleading information about the location of the turbines. Energy minister Malcolm Wicks admitted the location of the windfarm, granted permission in 2003, should have been stated more clearly in a statutory notice outlining the exact position. However, he refused to admit the information was wrong. The company undertaking the development, npower renewables, had supplied the correct co-ordinates for the site, four and a half miles off the coast of Colwyn Bay and Rhos-on-Sea. But local protestors say the location is listed as Rhyl Flats, which is not the true site - an area of sea known as the Constable Bank. In total the North Hoyle farm and the larger Gwynt-y-Mor site, currently being considered by the Department for Trade and Industry (DTI), would see 260 turbines visible from the shore. |
