Plans to underground power lines in Porthgain approved
Plans to put unsightly power lines underground in a Pembrokeshire fishing village have been approved.
Western Power Distribution is undergrounding sections of overhead power lines which are considered the most damaging in protected landscapes.
They include Gower and Wye Valley areas of outstanding natural beauty and the Brecon Beacons and Pembrokeshire Coast national parks.
The latest project will be in Porthgain.
Successful undergrounding has already been completed at Strumble Head, West Angle, Martins Haven, St Nons and Caerfarchell, Treginnis and Dinas Head.
Members of Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority had been asked to endorse the scheme in Porthgain.
It will see 295ft (90m) of overhead wiring replaced with underground cables.
