What is happening?

County Borough of Merthyr Tydfil
National Gas Transmission has applied to the Welsh Ministers for consent under section 38 of the Commons Act 2006 to carry out restricted works on Gelligaer and Merthyr Common.
The proposed works are to repair defects on the high-pressure gas pipeline from Treaddow to Dowlais. This involves excavating the buried pipeline. Heras fence will be used to fence off the area. All fencing will be temporary, each panel will have a width of 3.5m, a height of 2.0m and be held together by lockable clasps. Once the work is completed, and the land reinstated, all fencing will be fully removed. The works will cover 20 square metres, and fencing will be 80m in length. The works will be located at Mynydd-y-Capel Common.
A copy of the application form and accompanying documents can be inspected at Bannau Brycheiniog National Park Visitor Centre, Libanus, Brecon LD3 8ERduring normal office hours until 25/09/2026. A copy of the application form and accompanying documents may be obtained by writing to Global House, Hindlip Lane, Worcester, WR3 8SB or by emailing charlotte.hewitt@fishergerman.co.uk
Any objections or representations should be sent in writing ON or BEFORE that date to PEDW at Crown Buildings, Cathays Park, Cardiff, CF10 3NQ, or PEDW.Casework@gov.wales Letters sent to PEDW cannot be treated as confidential. They will be copied to the applicant and possibly to other interested parties.
