I am making this comment about the land east of Llangan. I would like to object to any development on this field which is occasionally used as pasture for cows and sheep. To the best of my knowledge no artificial fertiliser is spread on this land. This makes it particularly valuable as a meadow in which native flora can flourish. Such ‘unimproved’ meadows are quite rare in Wales and every effort should be made to conserve them. A new Environment [Principles, Governance and Biodiversity Targets, Wales] Bill was passed in the Senedd last February [2026]which established a new framework for environmental protection. To quote Huw Irranca-Davies the Deputy First Minister with responsibility for Climate change the passing of this Bill ‘has sent a clear message that protecting our natural environment is a national priority’. Not allowing development on the above land will help reverse biodiversity decline and allow the variety of native species to increase.
