Marine Renewable Energy Strategic Framework Technical Addendum Report by RPS to the Welsh Assembly Government Marine Renewable Energy Strategic Framework Technical Addendum Report by RPS to the Welsh Assembly Government March 2011 Stage 3 Technical Addendum Executive Summary S.1 The Marine Renewable Energy Strategic Framework (the MRESF) is a three stage project being undertaken by RPS for the Welsh Assembly Government. Stage 1 of the project was undertaken in 2008 and included a detailed literature review and consultation, aimed at understanding the existing situation as applicable to Welsh waters. Stage 1 included issues such as current understanding of the baseline environment, knowledge of potential impacts associated with wind, wave and tidal stream developments and aspects connected more directly to the renewables industry, such as device requirements and existing constraints on consent and development. S.2 The project is currently progressing through Stage 3 and due for completion in 2011. The work undertaken during Stage 1 formed the foundations on which Stage 2 and 3 have been developed, however due to the rapid development of the industry and the degree of research currently underway, some aspects of Stage 1 could now be considered dated. To ensure the project remains contemporary at the time of completion (end of 2010; publication end of Q1 2011), the current report has been prepared, specifically to investigate potential changes, updates and additions in the following areas: Legislative requirements; Baseline data (covering Welsh waters); Increase in scientific certainty (understanding of the potential impacts of wind, wave and tidal stream from a global perspective); Updates to the potential areas of wave and tidal stream resource identified in Stage 1; and Continued liaison with projects with a degree of overlap. S.3 The current report has been prepared as a Technical Addendum to the work undertaken in Stage 1 (RPS, 2008) and is accompanied by a number of reports completed during Stage 3 (WAG 2010a and 2010b; WAG 2011a and 2011b).

  • ACORN Morfa Borth - the Marsh Harbour Began As a Cottage, the South End of a Terrace of Cottages Set Back from the Street Built by 1829
    THE BUILDINGS OF MORFA BORTH - the Marsh Harbour Ceredigion That part of Borth Village on a pebble bank with the sea on one side and the Cors Fochno marsh some reclaimed and the railway on the other. In the distance is the River Dyfi. Photograph Michael Lewis Photographs and History by BERYL LEWIS This work is for research and educational purposes only. THE ACORN Morfa Borth - the Marsh Harbour Began as a cottage, the south end of a terrace of cottages set back from the street built by 1829. Home of a Hughes family of mariners and their Rees descendants. Also called Number 1 Blue Gardens (1881), and then Acorn House. Two old cottages had amalgamated by 1888. After 1910 the northern one was sold and the rest considerably enlarged to the street, and back into the garden for an Acorn garage in business by 1925. Today Acorn is a shop and café with fish and chips and has a home at the back. ‘Acorn’ was named after a schooner built in Aberdovey in 1864. She could carry 112 tonnes. Her captain was John Rees, the managing owner who set up the cargoes and who lived in Acorn House. He had 10 of her 64 shares. In July 1871 he was able to mortgage them for £590 (Customs Book, Aberystwyth, Ceredigion Archives). Acorn in 2018 Today Acorn is an extensive building stretching from the street backwards half way to the end of its garden at a ditch, once a brook. The front section is single storey shop and café under a gable roof its lapped timber end faces the street.

In the distance is the River Dyfi. Photograph Michael Lewis Photographs and History by BERYL LEWIS This work is for research and educational purposes only. CRAIGFRYN Wernfach - little marsh - Morfa Borth At the southernmost end of Morfa Borth, at the foot of Upper Borth. The house is at the beach end of a row of old cottages. The Estate at Cwmcynfelin, Llangorwen had owned these but had sold them by 1910. The cottage now Craigfryn was re-built from the cottage nearest the beach between 1915 and 1925. Craigfryn lies on the corner of the Lôn Glan-y-môr on the right and the road to Clarach on the left. This photograph was taken in 2016. Craigfryn is a substantial house of two floors with attics above and a conservatory on the southern side of the second floor allowing fine views across the beach and to the hills. The Conservatory opens on to a walled balcony facing the sea. There is a slate coloured gable roof parallel with the road to Clarach with roof lights and small windows in the side gable for the attic floor. It has a red brick chimney and all its walls are rendered. On the sea front of the house the single upper window is a picture window. Below is a lean-to extension. All the windows are modern.
