At a meeting of Powys County Council’s Planning committee on Thursday, August 6, councillors considered an application from Nant Mithil Energy Park Limited for the meteorological mast near Llanfihangel Rhydithon. Nant Mithil Energy Park is the development vehicle for Bute Energy, which wants to build a wind farm with 30 turbines with a maximum height of 220 metres at the site. Mrs Bowen answered: “The existing masts are connected to the wider Nant Mithil DNS scheme; the additional data is for turbine selection." Cllr Karl Lewis (Reform UK – Llandinam with Dolfor) said: “I’m more than happy to second Cllr Wilkinson’s proposal. Committee chairman Cllr Gareth D Jones (Powys Independents – Llanfair Caereinion and Llanerfyl) said he would not allow Cllr Wilkinson’s proposal to be voted upon.
