The proposed Solar PV LSA site North East of Ffarmers is in a Special Landscape Area (North Eastern Uplands). How on earth can the council be recommending and actively encouraging a large-scale development in this special and unique area of Carmarthenshire? Out of the whole of Carmarthenshire surely this Special Landscape Area is one of the most unsuitable areas for such a development. A solar farm in this location would completely destroy the character of an area that previous councils have sought to protect. How can this be a deemed appropriate?
Suggestion of this location as appropriate for development should be removed from the LDP. Full disclosure of the reasoning behind these three proposed LSAs should be made publicly available.

The designation of the proposed Solar Local Search Areas is based on a robust analysis set out in the Carmarthenshire Renewable Energy Assessment (Chapter 8).
