Esgair Cwmowen

Please Object to This Proposal Deadline:  30th October  2026

Esgair Cwmowen is in the uplands between Carno and Llanfair Careinion, west of Adfa. Pennant Walters has applied to build 11 turbines, 125m high on the Y Glonc ridge. The development would be right next to Tir Gwynt wind farm (turbines 116m high, pictured on the left of the photo) and its southern boundary would meet Wind2’s proposed Calon Y Gwynt development on Garreg Hir. Mynydd Clogau (turbines 66m high, faintly visible on the far right of the photo) is also close by. See map.

The cumulative impact of these developments on the upland landscape, peat and wildlife would be devastating. This development would destroy an historic landscape and Scheduled Monuments including Y Capel Stone Circle (MG179). CADW and Heneb object to this development as it would have ‘unacceptably damaging effects on scheduled monuments’. 

Some other points for objection:

• Destruction to peat land

• Habitat for many red-listed and amber-listed birds

• Grid connection hasn’t been established

• Noise assessment not in line with new policy
