Sunset from Tregele

This view from Tregele will probably be lost once the new power station 'environmental remediation' works are implemented. The large earth bank topped with trees - to cut down noise pollution from construction works and operation - will hide the view of the far ridge and the two new reactor buildings will probably be seen in the right of the picture.

Schematic from Horizon web site and Literature

This schematic by Horizon puts a suggested layout for the two new reactors over the top of the current landscape. Its not that detailed and the image is a flat one that doesn't conform with the contours or give any idea of how high the structures are. Or how they will be seen from the surrounding landscape. If they are tall, but in a depression then they wont be seen. If they are small, but on a crest they will be seen for miles.

Perhaps there will be more detailed views at the public information days, the first for immediate local people is today, for wider locals there is one tomorrow at Cemaes Village Hall.
