Diolch, Trefnydd. The interesting thing with Glan Lash is that an independent planning ecology report commissioned by Carmarthenshire County Council has recommended rejecting the application on the basis that it does not fulfil the council's duty to maintain and enhance biodiversity. They reference laws made by this Senedd. So, which is right, given the possible planning applications around the extension of Aberpergwm, and the Welsh Government's assertion that it has no grounds to intervene on the application? Because, surely, none of us want any more coal. Diolch yn fawr iawn.
