What assessment has the Welsh Government made of the impact of the building of the proposed Candwr solar farm on unexcavated Silurian forts in the area?
It is the responsibility of the applicant to undertake the necessary impact assessments to accompany planning applications.
I understand that Cadw was consulted by the applicant on 2 July 2026 on the impact assessments prepared to support the application, with comments requested by 20 August 2026. Cadw is currently assessing the suitability of the archaeological impact analysis. I have requested a copy of the assessment once completed.
Planning and Environment Decisions Wales administer the DNS consenting process and will undertake the planning balance, taking account of relevant environmental, social, economic and heritage matters.
