In July the developers submitted a new planning application to build a dam on the Afon Cynfal in Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park and divert as much as 70% of the available water around the waterfall of Rhaeadr y Cwm, as part of a hydro-electric scheme. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐨𝐛𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝟐𝟎𝐭𝐡 𝐒𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫.
