Explanatory note
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Clocaenog Forest Wind Farm Order 2014 (the “principal Order”), which granted development consent under the Planning Act 2008, following an application for a non-material change under paragraph 2 of Schedule 6 to that Act.
This Order authorises changes to the works plans to reflect changes in the limits of deviation and to the commencement and termination points of access tracks and the addition of the construction of turning heads in Work No. 3.
The revised work plans and felling plans must be submitted to the Welsh Ministers for certification under new article 36(1A) of the principal Order. Requirement 7 in Part 3 of Schedule 1 to the principal Order requires the authorised development to be carried out in accordance with plans certified under article 36.
