Application overview

Installation, operation and subsequent decommissioning of a renewable energy scheme comprising ground mounted photovoltaic solar arrays together with substation compound, transformer stations, internal access track, landscaping, biodiversity measures, permissive footpath, securing fencing, security measures, access gate, access improvement and ancillary infrastructure. The application proposal is for a temporary structure with a modelled operational lifespan of 35 years. Following cessation of renewable energy generation at the site, and as part of contractual obligations with the landowner, the photovoltaics arrays would be decommissioned and removed from site. As part of the decommissioning, the permissive footpath would also be removed. Laying of cables would be required through the Grade II listed masonry Cilddewi Bridge and this element of the proposal is subject to a secondary consent application for listed building consent. ; Gosod, gweithredu, ac wedi hynny, digomisiynu parc ynni adnewyddadwy sy'n cynnwys araeau solar ffotofoltäig wedi'u gosod ar y ddaear ynghyd â is-orsaf, gorsafoedd trawsnewidyddion, trac mynediad mewnol, tirlunio, mesurau bioamrywiaeth, llwybr troed caniataol, ffensys diogelwch, mesurau diogelwch, giât mynediad, gwelliannau mynediad a seilwaith ategol. Mae'r cais ar gyfer strwythur dros dro gyda chyfnod gweithredol o 35 mlynedd. Ar ôl i gynhyrchu ynni adnewyddadwy ddod i ben ar y safle, ac fel rhan o rwymedigaethau cytundebol gyda'r tirfeddiannwr, byddai'r araeau ffotofoltäig yn cael eu digomisiynu a'u symud o'r safle. Fel rhan o'r digomisiynu, byddai'r llwybr troed caniataol hefyd yn cael ei symud. Byddai angen gosod ceblau trwy bont gwaith maen rhestredig Gradd II Cilddewi, ac mae'r elfen hon o'r cynnig yn destun cais cydsyniad eilaidd am gydsyniad adeilad rhestredig.
