The site spanned the Local Authority areas of Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council and Caerphilly County Borough Council. The proposed development consisted of up to six wind turbines with tip heights of up to 180 m and an installed capacity of up to 36 MW. The planning consent for the project was considered under the Developments of National Significance (DNS) framework.
OUR APPROACH & DELIVERABLES:
NCL supported RWE through the whole planning process. This included liaising with the Local Authorities, carrying out baseline noise surveys, assessing potential noise impacts and drafting the Noise and Vibration chapter of the Environmental Impact Assessment for the planning submission.
Following submission of the application, NCL supported RWE on noise and vibration issues through the DNS process, including giving oral evidence at the planning hearing for the development.
