The site is one of seven Strategic Search Areas (SSAs) appointed by the Welsh Assembly Government as suitable for large scale wind farms. These areas were established under TAN8 (2005) planning policy. The SSAs were identified by the Welsh Assembly Government on the basis that they had a good wind resource in conjunction with lower landscape sensitivity to wind farms. Airtricity was the successful bidder with Forestry Commission Wales (FCW) to develop a wind farm on FCW land at this site. All of the Nant y Moch turbines developed will be within the TAN 8 boundary.
