I’ve heard nothing on Ystradffin since I wrote this piece. Given who’s involved, I’m not surprised.

Seems an incredible waste of money to buy this farm just to put up a mast. Usually they just rent a couple square metres from the farmer whose land they need. That’s what the farmers who rent land for masts tell me.

Someone knows all the facts, why are they not in the public domain?

Convoluted logic there, good boy. Can’t even be bothered to disentangle it, sort it out yourself. Tickets for the events mentioned above are free to all who wish to attend. Alun Ffred can help you with placing orders.

The first EMSCP enabled mast was in Scotland, at Boreland, near Lockerbie. This is a ‘new build’ mast. There are different planning and wholly devolved arrangements (prisons, police, etc) as well as planning regulation in Scotland. This new build is mast is to cover the uplands of southwest Scotland.

In England planning law was changed in 2016 to allow existing masts to be used but there is a need to extend masts from a height of 20m to 25m for EMSCP.

It says the extent of this instrument is England and Wales. The territorial application of this instrument is England. Which means the Welsh Government is required to enact it to also apply in Wales, or bring forward it’s own variant.

Only ‘class A’ masts that for emergency services on existing or planned real estate are exempt from all devolved planning process. For example, roof of Dartmoor prison to cover the uplands of south west England.

“Evidently you are not a Taff, otherwise you would know that a “Sheep shagger” is an exclusive type of Taff.”

Does that mean that you think “Wop” and “Dago” are also exclusive types of Italian and Spaniard/Latinino?

It seems that you consider yourself to be a “Taff” but not one of those “Taffs” who would be referred to as a “Sheep shagger”.
Some news for you, those who refer to the Cymry as “”Sheep shaggers” don’t.

I have updated the article to include information on EMSCP. But this involves the Home Office, there is no reason for the Ministry of Justice Estates Department to be involved.

The giveaway clue is the lease involves the Emergency Services Mobile Communication Programme and its EMSCP Director. Go into GOOGLE and check out EMSCP and read it all. Ystradffin is going to be a part of this. Well probably not the vast Ystradffin Farm itself, but probably just a tiny corner of a few square metres for a strategic Communications Mast. Nothing to do with a Prison. Such masts have a charmed passage through the planning system. I may be wrong about this mast and I may be wrong about the purpose of the Hydro scheme in my previous post above. What is of further greater concern is that none of the local politicians or news media seem to know anything about this and don’t care about all of the “bombshells” our Jac has been exposing on this Blog. It proves they are nearly all simply bloody useless especially in Cardiff Bay! When will they spring into action and ask probing questions and resist the total destruction of our landscape and our language. The problem is they are all, yes all, slaves and lackeys to Boris or Corbyn or in Plaid Cymru’s modern case, serving trendy political correctness British causes in the “Bay Bubble” !

Are you Jacob Rees Mogg in disguise ? or just some residual Roman at a very isolated fortress ( bit like those Japanese soldiers left behind on Pacific Islands who were still ready for “action” decades later ) ?

Don’t the local community council get consulted (or, more accurately, notified) when public-works projects of any kind are mooted, so wouldn’t they have at least an inkling of what’s being proposed? Or aren’t Englandandwales organisations, or alternatively England-only ones, under no such obligation?
