Landowners

Green GEN Cymru is dedicated to building strong partnerships with landowners and occupiers while developing our proposal for Green GEN Vyrnwy Frankton.

Our appointed land agents, WSP, will engage with individual landowners on any design updates of our proposals outside of the areas of change presentation at targeted consultation, such as and including updates to access tracks.

Planning assessment

We are committed to carrying out comprehensive environmental surveys in coordination with landowners. These surveys are critical to help us better understand the local environment and potential impacts of our project, and identify opportunities to manage these effects.

As our proposals for a new 132 kV overhead line will be a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project, we are required to undertake an Environmental Impact Assessment. The findings and proposed mitigation plans from our surveys will be set out in an Environmental Statement, which will be available when we submit our application in 2026.

These surveys will typically involve a small number of specialist contractors entering certain areas of land to undertake a range of archaeological, environmental and engineering surveys. A request to undertake surveys on any piece of land does not mean that it will necessarily form part of the route or have infrastructure placed on it.

Some ecological and environmental surveys can only be carried out at specific times of the year due to wildlife activity.

We want to work with landowners on our proposals to discuss land use and access. Our preference is always to agree voluntary access and we greatly appreciate the cooperation of landowners who have agreed access to their land for these assessments.

Agreeing to survey does not restrict the landowner’s ability to respond to the project consultation.
