Stop developing 2 wind farms next to MOD low-flying zone in Powys, Wales.

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

Stop the Garreg Fawr and Parc Ynni Banc y Celyn wind farms next to Sennybridge Training Area (SENTA). Giant 220 metre high turbines within the 10 km safeguarding zone pose a serious hazard to low-flying aircraft and risk undermining vital UK military training and national security.

Sennybridge Training Area (SENTA) is one of the UK’s most important military sites, used for low-flying jets, helicopters, parachute drops, drones and live-fire training. Wind farms at Garreg Fawr and Banc y Celyn fall inside a pre-agreed 10 km safeguarding zone and would pose a serious hazard to flight safety. If built, they would undermine vital training and compromise national security. The Government must enforce the 10 km exclusion zone and stop these developments.

Why it was rejected

It was about a matter for a local council or devolved government, not the UK Government or Parliament.
