Nant y Moch windfarm and the landscape

LANDMAP is the Welsh national information system, devised by the Countryside Council for Wales, for taking landscape into account in decision-making. For more background, click here.

"LANDMAP is the formally adopted methodology for landscape assessment in Wales; therefore all landscape work and assessments of the effects arising from a proposal's impact on the landscape in Wales should include LANDMAP as part of their landscape baseline conditions."

The map below shows how the northern area of the Cambrian Mountains has been evaluated by LANDMAP for the Visual and Sensory aspect. The significance of the four evaluation levels is summarised as:

Overall evaluation score	Definition of importance to the evaluated aspect
Outstanding	International or national
High	Regional or county
Moderate	Local
Low	Little or no importance
