Work on a planned Welsh energy project at Freshwater West beach in Pembrokeshire is being adjusted after complaints from Harry Potter fans about a filming location associated with the character Dobby the elf. The dispute centers on the proposed Greenlink interconnector, described as a £430 million scheme intended to transmit electricity generated from solar and wind power.

According to reporting, fans say construction activities could affect the filming spot and seek protections or rerouting of parts of the development. The changes requested are aimed at preserving the specific location tied to the franchise rather than the overall project’s stated purpose of improving renewable energy transmission.

The accounts describe a campaign by series followers that pressures developers to reconsider their plans for the beach area. The coverage focuses heavily on the link between the project and the franchise location, while other details—such as formal decision-making timelines, consultation outcomes, or specific engineering adjustments—are not consistently outlined across sources.
