A community has risen in anger to fight proposals for a new generation of wind turbines so large, they would be among some of the UK's tallest structures.
Protests have taken place over proposals to create the UK's highest onshore turbines in the backdrop of a semi-rural community between Port Talbot and Maesteg.
The proposed Y Bryn wind farm, which has now gone out to public consultation for a third time, could see 18 towers built that could potentially be seen from huge parts of Wales. Approaching the height of London's Shard skyscraper, which is 310 metres tall, the plans have been designed by Coriolis Energy and the Electricity Supply Board (ESB). Coriolis has said the turbines would be of benefit and have no significant effect on the environment or wildlife.
