It will enable a group of nine local landowners to diversify their agricultural enterprise and help secure their livelihood during uncertain times for farming communities. The site is located on the Gwent Levels, to the south of the former Llanwern Steelworks site which closed in 2001. The land is of poor agricultural value and the scheme would provide an enhancement to the biodiversity of the area. Sheep would graze the site, which would maintain the agricultural use of the land. The incorporation of a battery storage area will allow for the energy captured during the day to be stored and re-used during times when energy is in greater demand and make the most of the energy generated by a renewable source as well as helping to make it a viable proposal at a time when subsidy has been removed. The site has some unique advantages. The first is the high irradiation which the site benefits from which will drive high levels of solar generation. The coastline in South Wales has a high solar irradiation (1230 kWh/m² vs UK average of 1100 kWh/m²) and its location on a south facing coastline it benefits from secondary irradiation or “bounce” where light “bounces” off the sea up into the atmosphere and is then reflected down by particles in the air. The second is the capacity of the local electricity network to accommodate a substantial new generator. Elsewhere in the UK the electricity grid is under severe constraint and is rarely able to accommodate new large generators without substantial and costly upgrades to the network which then make the projects unviable. Llanwern and the area around it benefits from very large scale electricity transmission assets which have considerable spare capacity. These were in the main put in to serve the requirements of heavy industries which once existed along this coastline but are now no longer in operation. The third is that the land around Llanwern on the Gwent Levels is drained salt marsh of low agricultural worth in relatively small parcels. Most of the farms on the Levels are less than 100 acres, so are lacking the critical mass of larger farms and the quality of land to produce high yields. The land here is Grade 3b and grade 4, the latter of which is defined as “Land with severe limitations which significantly restrict Gwent Farmers’ Community Solar Scheme October 2016 1 Planning, Design and Access Statement Gwent Farmers’ Community Solar Scheme the range of crops and / or level of yields.” It can be easily seen why this is a rural community in need of investment and economic diversification. The scheme covers around 345 acres (139 hectares) shared by farmers on the peninsular and an application for planning permission is submitted to the Planning Inspectorate as a Development of National Significance (DNS). The development will generate a consistent and reliable ground rent for the farmers that will supplement their farm businesses and allow the continuation of the enterprise for future generations. In addition a proportion of the revenue from the scheme may be diverted towards local Parish Councils, to be spent on local community projects which are in the early stages of discussion, including the Living Levels scheme. The Welsh Government is committed to renewable

  • Submission to the Public Local Inquiry M4 Corridor Around Newport
    September 2016 Submission to the Public Local Inquiry into the M4 corridor around Newport Summary We contest the proposed development for the following principal reasons: . The ‘need’ argument is based on flawed Transport Planning Objectives dating from 2007 which have been substantially unrevised since that date. The ‘need’ argument is unproven. Outside two hours a day for around 150 days per year, the current motorway copes well with existing traffic flows. Adding reasonable alternatives would suffice until at least 2037. The approach of the Welsh Government – ‘predict and provide’ – has long been discredited as a valid means of transport planning. The Welsh Government approach has failed to consider reasonable alternatives (including the ‘Blue Route’ via the Llanwern steelworks road, and alternatives relating to ‘common/complementary measures’, ‘public transport measures’, ‘junction closures’, and these measures in combination). The transport forecast is fundamentally unrealistic and this finding undermines entirely the Welsh Government’s rationale for infrastructure development. The proposed benefit – a 4-9 minute saving for 6,000 vehicles per day, for 150 or so days per year – is not commensurate to any degree with either the proposed expenditure or the proposed environmental destruction. The proposed benefit accrues principally to wealthy white men and worsens outcomes for those living in poverty. The sustainable development report is not fit for purpose. To conclude that the proposed development is sustainable (principally on the basis of economic benefit) is contrary to the word and spirit of sustainability. The economic appraisal is not fit for purpose. The Welsh Government’s approach of allocating ‘medium’ noise sensitivity to residential receptors is unique and unwarranted: the Planning Inspectorate, Highways Agency and Transport Scotland routinely classify residential receptors as being of ‘high’ sensitivity to noise.

The prospectus has been prepared by partners across the city and sets out • Build an economic environment our ambitions to transform Newport over the next 10 years. Much has of growth and success been achieved in recent years – the completion and opening of Friars Walk retail and leisure centre in 2015 has perhaps been the best example of the • Move Newport up the city’s transformation. ‘value chain’ Newport’s location, sense of identity and growing confidence means the foundations are now in place to fulfil the city’s economic potential. The city has a proud and varied history and we want to build a future which respects this legacy whilst recognising that future economic growth will be founded on very different skills. We are home to many successful and growing businesses and the city is projected to grow significantly over the next 10 years.
