HAFOD LWYFOG, Nantgwynant, Gwynedd SH 6526 5225
SNOWDONIA DENDROCHRONOLOGY PROJECT HAFOD LWYFOG, Nantgwynant, Gwynedd. HOUSE HISTORY 1860s -1899: Hafod Lwyfog, so called “because there are elm trees there” says Edward Llwyd. Some of the old poets have called it Hafod Lwyddog (prosperous) and that form is explained on p 294. On the beam which runs under the parlour ceiling are the letter E. LL. E. 1638, but the house is at least eighty years older than that date would lead one to think. The initials are for Ifan Llwyd (or Evan Lloyd) and his wife, and their crest is still preserved on the end wall of the same room. The green mounds about the house, and the traces of artificial walks and drives around them may still be seen, speak of days when taste and expenses were applied to the beautifying of this residence. The hand of time, the rusticity of many of the past tenants, and its having become exclusively a farm, have very successfully co-operated in obliterating those traces of taste and refinement. (D E Jenkins, Beddgelert Its Facts Fairies & Folklore, p 281-86) late 1800s: it has been recorded towards the end of the last century the coat of arms of the old family i.e. the three eagles [Owain Gwynedd] and the letters E. LL/E 1638 could be seen clearly carved on the oak beams which run under the parlour ceiling and also on a piece of hard oak set into the wall in one of the upstairs bedroom at the opposite end of the house to where the parlour is situated. -

Landscape Character Baseline of the Study Area Protected Landscapes
SECTION 2: BASELINE LANDSCAPE OF THE SNOWDONIA NATIONAL PARK Landscape Character Baseline of the Study Area Key Landscape Characteristics of the Snowdonia National Park 2.1 Snowdonia is comprised of a diverse mix of landscapes many of which are highly valued for their great natural beauty and tranquillity. The Snowdonia National Park is renowned for its rugged mountainous landscapes but also offers beautiful and unspoilt valley and coastal landscapes. 2.2 Landscape character assessment undertaken for the National Park has resulted in 25 LCAs being identified. The LCAs are illustrated in Figure 3 and are set out in the following report: Supplementary Planning Guidance 7 Landscapes and Seascapes of Eryri– Snowdonia National Park Authority, Eryri Local Development Plan 2007-2022 (para 3.10, p.44). This document subdivides the local planning authority area into 25 LCAs. Protected Landscapes (Statutory and Non-Statutory) Within the Study Area 2.3 The landscapes of the Isle of Anglesey, Gwynedd and Snowdonia National Park are protected by a significant proportion of both statutory and non-statutory landscape related designations. World Heritage Sites Caernarfon Castle and Town Walls, Beaumaris and Harlech Castles (Castles and Town Walls of King Edward in Gwynedd) World Heritage Site. 2.4 The extensive and detailed contemporary technical, social, and economic documentation of the castles, and the survival of adjacent fortified town at Caernarfon, makes them one of the major references of medieval history14. 2.5 There is no detailed Guidance regarding the siting of proposed wind energy, telecommunications and tourism developments in relation to this World Heritage Site or it’s essential setting, however Part 2 of The Castles and Town Walls of Edward I in Gwynedd, World Heritage Site Management Plan15 discusses the importance of significant/historic views into and out of each monument in the World Heritage Site, stating that inappropriate development would obstruct or interfere with these views, which generally extend beyond the areas of essential setting. -

The National Park Authority receives about 500-600 planning applications each year, and the revised LDP will provide the foundation for determining each planning application that we receive. This LDP’s predecessor (Eryri LDP 2007-2022) had performed well against targets, and its Strategy was considered to be effective or ‘sound’. In view of this, and following consultation with relevant stakeholders, the Authority decided that a ‘short form revision’ was therefore considered appropriate. In simple terms, this basically means limited changes have been proposed to the revised LDP and the overall strategy for the revised LDP 2016-2031 remains the same as the previous LDP. There have been some important legislative changes in Wales over recent years, with the creation of the Planning (Wales) Act 2015, Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015, and the Environment (Wales) Act 2016. These legislations have helped shape the content of this revised LDP. It has helped how we use both our land and other natural resources – both of which are essential for us to achieve the well-being of a sustainable Wales. -
