“The proposal does not appear to involve any land take in Flintshire. The only impacts on Flintshire appear to be related to transport and transportation and seascape/landscape and visual impact. There could also be community benefits that could arise that Flintshire Communities could benefit from which are noted above. The proposed development site is over 20km from Flintshire and only likely to be visible from the very western coastal strip in Flintshire and also from higher ground. Therefore, due to the distance the proposed development is in relation to Flintshire, it is considered that the visual impact on Flintshire and its receptors would not be significant. However, it is noted that the SLVIA does identity significant effects on seascape and landscape and visual receptors throughout the North Wales region. The SLVIA Report confirms that the Awel y Môr proposal at the scale and height proposed would be a major feature and substantial detractor to several special qualities associated with the designated landscapes of North Wales and the National Park. This may, in turn have an indirect negative effect on tourism for the region. Finally, it is noted that there could also be community benefits that could arise that Flintshire Communities could benefit from. The Council would welcome further engagement and consultation with RWE in relation to community benefits and would comment on further details as and when they are provided by the applicant.”
