🏴 Powys is set to benefit from a major new tourism and recreation development as the Welsh Government-appointed Planning Inspector has granted planning permission for a Motocross Experience Centre at Rhydblawd Farm, Disserth, Builth Wells.
The development includes:
🏍️ A purpose-built Motocross Experience Centre
🏡 Seven log cabins for holiday accommodation
💧 Infrastructure improvements including bridges, foul water systems, and highway upgrades
⚡️ The project will be creating the vision of a leading UK Motocross Experience Centre based around electric bikes. This project is expected to bring £1.5 million in capital investment, create up to 13 local jobs, and deliver a wide range of environmental enhancements 🌳
🗣️ "Electric motocross bikes offer a cleaner and quieter alternative to traditional petrol-powered machines. Electric bikes significantly reduce noise pollution, making the experience more enjoyable for riders and less disruptive to nearby residents and wildlife. They also produce zero emissions at the point of use, supporting the project's broader environmental goals. Furthermore, electric bikes are easier to operate and maintain, making the sport more accessible to beginners, families, and younger riders."
