500 Welsh Farmers Launch High Court Challenge Against Green Energy Developer Over Pylon Route Conduct
A group of 500 Welsh farmers have filed a landmark High Court claim against green energy developer Green Gen Cymru, alleging unlawful entry to private land, intimidation, and biosecurity violations during planning of a 125-mile pylon route across Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion and Powys. The case, brought by Justice for Wales and the Welsh Countryside Charity, challenges the legality of section 172 notices used to access land before compulsory purchase orders. The lead claimant alleges agents walked through a protected otter habitat and farmers fear losing their land and homes.
