“The Ministry of Defence (MOD) has been notified by National Grid that the above development has been accepted by the Secretary of State for a Development Consent Order (DCO).
The DCO is seeking permission to connect Wylfa Newydd nuclear power station to the extisting transmission network. The proposed transmission connection will begin at Wylfa Newydd nuclear power station on the Isle of Anglesey and will end at Pentir Substation in Gwynedd.
The proposed route of the overhead powerlines and heights of the pylons has been reviewed by the MOD. The proposed route passes through the aerodrome height and birdstrike statutory safeguarding zones surrounding RAF Mona on the Isle of Anglesey. Our assessment has identified that the height of the pylons and the proposed route will cause no physical infringement of the protected airspace surrounding RAF Mona.
However, RAF Mona is often used for night flying circuits by trainee pilots based at RAF Valley. Pylons 4AP044 to 4AP055 sit beneath RAF Mona’s Approach and Take Off Climb and the trainee pilots will fly at low altitudes within the vicinity of these pylons.
Helicopters also frequently transit this area at low level.
We therefore request, in the interests of air safety, that pylons 4AP044 to 4AP055 (12 in total) which sit beneath RAF Mona’s Approach and Take Off Climb are fitted with suitable aviation warning lighting. The 12 identified turbines should be fitted with a minimum intensity 25 candela omni directional flashing red light or equivalent infra-red light fitted at the highest practicable point of the structures. We also request that the height and positions of all the pylons is charted on aeronautical charts.
I can confirm that the MOD has no safeguarding concerns with this proposed development subject to the inclusion of a suitably worded planning condition for aviation warning lighting to be installed to pylons 4AP044 – 4AP055 and we also request that, as a condition of any planning permission granted, the developer must notify UK DVOF & Powerlines at the Defence Geographic Centre with the following information prior to development commencing:
a. Precise location of development.
b. Date of commencement of construction.
c. Date of completion of construction.
d. The height above ground level of the tallest structure.
e. The maximum extension height of any construction equipment.
f. Details of aviation warning lighting fitted to the structure(s)

I trust this adequately explains our position on this matter, however should you have any questions regarding this matter please do not hesitate to contact me.”
