Is it the Minister's intention for the access track, for the Mynydd y Gwair wind farm, at Bolgoed, Pontarddulais, in "Figure 1. 2 Common Land Application CL68 Sheet 1 of 3", to be fully used for access to the wind farm considering the document shows that the path has yet to be completed?

The Welsh Ministers were asked to exercise their powers under the Commons Act 2006 to grant an application to deregister certain land as common land and register other land as replacement common land in relation to the Mynydd y Gwair wind farm. The Welsh Ministers made a decision to grant that application and issued a deregistration and exchange order. This order defined both the common land released, which included parts of the existing track, and the replacement common land.
