Originally an application for a 13 turbine scheme of up to 125m to tip height was submitted to Neath Port Talbot CBC in August 2014. This application was approved in late 2017, subject to a Section 106 covering decommissioning and habitat management. Pennant Walters (PW) subsequently submitted a Section 73 application to vary the consent, seeking approval for an 11 turbine scheme of up to 145m to tip height – the change was proposed to improve the economics of the site following the removal of the ROC subsidy in 2016/17.  This application was approved on 4 April 2023.
