Western Power Distribution Brechfa Forest Connection – EPS Licence Application – Dormouse Method Statement 855587 A. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Western Power Distribution wishes to develop a new grid connection between Brechfa West wind farm to an existing overhead tower line near Llandyfaelog, approximately 10 km south of Carmarthen. This will connect the Brechfa Forest West wind farm to the distribution network. This report has been produced as part of an application for a licence to undertake works that will affect Dormice. The works include the clearance of woodland and associated scrub at various locations along the length of the Proposed Development, and the ongoing maintenance of the overhead line (including vegetation management on a five year rotation). A nest-tube survey was undertaken by RSK between April and October 2014. Survey equipment, comprising 571 nest-tubes, was placed in 13 areas of suitable Dormouse habitat along the proposed route. Dormice were recorded at one of these locations (Site 1). The survey methods and results for the surveys along the Proposed Development are described. This report assesses the impacts of the Proposed Development and outlines a strategy to minimise or eliminate the impacts. No works likely to affect Dormice will be carried out until a European Protected Species licence has been obtained. On receipt of the licence, a mitigation strategy will be applied as outlined in this method statement.

  • Gwarallt Barn Brechfa Carmarthen Carmarthenshire. SA32 7BW 277,500
    Gwarallt Barn Brechfa Carmarthen Carmarthenshire. SA32 7BW 277,500 • Partially converted barn to finish • Will provide character 3 bed conversion • Comes with approx. 7 acres pasture • Two useful outbuildings • Barn is sold with most materials to complete • Most of first fix in place • Very good outriding close by Ref: PRA10209 Viewing Instructions: Strictly By Appointment Only General Description A partially converted stone barn in a rural setting near Brechfa. The property is mainly to first fix level with the bulk of the materials to complete the build included in the sale. The barn, when complete will offer two or three bed accommodation depending on how you choose to use it. It comes with approx. 7 acres of flat pasture and a couple of useful outbuildings. Good outriding in the immediate vicinity The barn has neighbours as there is one other barn for conversion (standing at rightangles to this barn), plus the original farmhouse. The three properties are located down a private drive off a minor country lane, all are smallholdings. This is an ideal project for someone looking to complete something in the short term - much of the work has been done and the property is nearly ready. The majority of the money has been spent and most of the work left is finishing off. Accommodation General Information Overall, the central heating (LPG) has been installed and is working. Mains water and electricity is connected. The downstairs of the barn is well progressed. The walls have been plaster boarded and the wiring is in place and connected. The downstairs shower room needs fitting out, but the materials are there.

  • NEWSLETTER No 37 Autumn 2001
    NEWSLETTER No 37 Autumn 2001 ISSN 0952-5327 Editor - I K Morgan, % CCW, Beechwood Office, Talley Road, Llandeilo, Carms. SA19 7HR IMPORTANT NOTE: As from this Issue the Dyfed Invertebrates Group Newsletter has ceased publication. Editorial This issue will be the last Dyfed Invertebrate Group Newsletter. I should like to sincerely thank all those contributors who, over the years, have taken the time to write about their discoveries of the invertebrates in the former Dyfed – Carmarthenshire, Pembroke and Ceredigion. A glance at one of the atlases produced by the Biological Records Centre will show that, for the three counties, we managed to achieve a respectable covering of recording for many invertebrate groups - indeed for some we were one of the better recorded parts of Britain. Numerous scarce or rare invertebrates have been found and important sites identified. Let us hope that the conservation bodies and all those involved in wildlife conservation take heed of the wealth of information found in the thirty-seven newsletters which appeared. I should like to thank Adrian Fowles (now Senior Invertebrate Ecologist with the Countryside Council for Wales) for his crucial role in establishing this Newsletter and for his subsequent support. There was a time, in the late 1980s, when there was much friendly rivalry in invertebrate recording between Adrian in Ceredigion and myself representing Carmarthenshire, but professional and other circumstances have changed and it is with regret that I (and others) are now unable to provide the fieldwork (and subsequent deskwork) to sustain this Newsletter. However, I feel that we should all feel proud at what we did achieve and hope that this great recording effort should not be forgotten but, as I mentioned earlier, used to the benefit of invertebrate conservation.

Unfortunately it has reached me so late that it is not now possible for me to pay a final visit of inspection. The history has been carefully prepared and is a most useful document. The map is excellent, showing as it does not only the compartment numbers and boundaries but also species. I have notes on two early inspections (March 6th, 1927 and early September 1930) which are not noted in the history. I append my note on that of 1927 as it describes my first impressions of the land and the planting.
