Maps
It is essential to understand the route of the proposed transmission line through the Towy Valley. It is shown on these maps.
Information about the route is derived from GreenGEN Cymru's own maps (see below) and followed as closely as possible. As the planning process continues it is very possible that some details may change.
The interactive maps are heavily data intensive and may be slow to load.
