Environmental Statement (Volume CELTIC ENERGY LIMITED NANT HELEN COMPLEMENTARY RESTORATION EARTHWORKS ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT JANUARY 2020 Celtic Energy Ltd Nant Helen Complementary Restoration Earthworks 1 Introduction 1.1.1 This Environmental Statement (ES) has been prepared to support the full planning application submitted to Powys County Council (PCC) and Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council (NPTCBC) for the proposed Nant Helen Complimentary Restoration Earthworks. 1.2 Proposed development 1.2.1 The proposed Restoration Earthworks are to include the following: • Earthworks to include cutting and embankment; and • Drainage works associated with the revised landform. 1.2.2 For the purposes of this ES, the elements of these Nant Helen Complimentary Restoration Earthworks are referred to as ‘the Project’. 1.3 Site location 1.3.1 The planning application site boundary is shown on Figure 1.1 and covers an area of approximately 179ha. 1.3.2 The Project site is within the Dulais Valley located within Powys and Neath Port Talbot, with the Brecon Beacons National Park Authority boundary immediately to the north. Nearby settlements include Onllwyn, Seven Sisters, Ystradgynlais, Caehopkin, Abercrave or Coelbren. The site is predominantly brownfield land that has been heavily worked by open cast mining. Much of the site has been revegetated. 1.4 Project context 1.4.1 The proposed site is currently being mined by Celtic Energy, who will cease extraction operations in 2021, at which point Celtic Energy will be required to restore the land in accordance with regulatory requirements and agreements with PCC. This includes s106 planning obligations and planning conditions that need to be discharged. 1.4.2 Celtic Energy has submitted a revised restoration strategy for approval (under Section 73 application under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990) which would change the existing approved restoration scheme (for planning application ref 18/1070/REM). The purpose of the variation is to allow for a ‘flexible and adaptable landform for a Environmental Assessment | Draft | 9 January 2020 Page 1-1 J:\264000\264904-00\1 CLIENT\271968 CELTIC ENERGY APPLICATION\ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT\CLIENT REVIEWED\FINAL DRAFTS\ES CHAPTER 1-3 INTRODUCTION.DOCX Celtic Energy Ltd Nant Helen Complementary Restoration Earthworks variety of uses on restoration including agriculture, nature conservation, leisure, tourism and some industrial uses’1. 1.4.3 Following discussions with PCC and NPTCBC both authorities have expressed a desire along with Celtic Energy to look at regeneration projects for the area that will create long term, sustainable jobs. Whilst not within the Brecon Beacons National Park (BBNP), due to its proximity the area has been identified as having the potential for a variety of uses. It is the intention of this project to complement the revised restoration proposal submitted by Celtic Energy in October 2019. Figure 1.2 overlays the Complementary Earthworks proposals with the Celtic Energy Restoration Strategy. 1.4.4 The revised restoration proposal looks to provide a flexible landform that can be used or adapted for a diverse set of future uses. This could range from the traditional agriculture, woodland and nature conservation uses, to amenity, leisure and tourism uses (including the potential for future tourist accommodation to add to the existing offering within the BBNP) that would be designed to help take visitor pressure off the BBNP. 1.4.5 Other uses of the site could also include industrial after uses such as the Welsh Government’s (WG) proposal to develop a rail testing and storage facility, known as the Global Centre of Rail Excellence (GCRE) at this site together with the adjacent Onllwyn Washery. It is anticipated that a planning application for the GCRE will be submitted early next year subject to confirmation of its feasibility. 1.4.6 The justification for designing the proposed earthworks in this way is that the landform would not only make an ideal bridleway / footpath for walking, cycling and horse riding, but should planning permission be awarded for the GCRE, then the required profile for this would already have been created, thereby avoiding the need for further extensive earthmoving should GCRE gain planning permission. 1.4.7 If desired, the earthworks programme required to create the profile for the GCRE could be accelerated. By accelerating this part of the programme the financial and environmental impacts of the GCRE project could be reduced by: • utilising existing, onsite resources; • reducing heavy plant vehicle movements into, and out of the site, thereby reducing impact on the local road network; • avoiding double handling of materials and therefore reduction in additional cost; 1 Celtic Energy s73 application for variation of condition 45 of planning application 18/1070/REM – further addendum to original environmental statement and supporting information submitted under planning reference 18/1070/REM including revised LVIA. Environmental Assessment | Draft | 9 January 2020 Page 1-2 J:\264000\264904-00\1 CLIENT\271968 CELTIC ENERGY APPLICATION\ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT\CLIENT REVIEWED\FINAL DRAFTS\ES CHAPTER 1-3 INTRODUCTION.DOCX Celtic Energy Ltd Nant Helen Complementary Restoration Earthworks • aligning the earthworks programme with other restoration earthworks, therefore reducing the time period of construction activity on site; • taking advantage of the opportunity for the GCRE earlier and contributing to the positive viability and deliverability; • increasing the viability of future tourist developments such as hotels which would be supported by the GCRE temporary workforce both during and after construction; and • more sustainable use of existing resources (including natural, human and mechanical) to allow for the full restoration of the site to be delivered without further disturbance in the event of future development. 1.5 Environmental impact statement structure 1.5.1 This ES contains the environmental information that is required by the Town and Country Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) (Wales) Regulations 2017. It comprises a number of elements: • Non-technical summary (NTS) – a NTS summarises, in non- technical language, the findings of the EIA. The NTS is provided independently and also included within the main EIS (Volume I); • Environmental Impact Statement (Volume I): Main Report – Volume I of the ES (this volume) which includes the topic assessments (chapters 4 – 15); • Environmental Statement (Volume II): Appendices – Volume II includes the technical reports that accompany the ES technical assessments; • Environmental Statement (Volume III): Figures – Volume III includes figures referenced within this ES (unless included within the text). 1.6 Application documents 1.6.1 The ES is being submitted to PCC/NPTCBC for determination as part of the outline planning application. Other documents submitted in support of the application include: • Application forms and ownership certificates; • Pre-Application Consultation Report; • Drawing package; • Planning Statement; and • Drainage Strategy. Environmental Assessment | Draft | 9 January 2020 Page 1-3 J:\264000\264904-00\1 CLIENT\271968 CELTIC ENERGY APPLICATION\ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT\CLIENT REVIEWED\FINAL DRAFTS\ES CHAPTER 1-3 INTRODUCTION.DOCX Celtic Energy Ltd Nant Helen Complementary Restoration Earthworks 2 Environmental Impact Assessment 2.1 Introduction 2.1.1 Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is required for certain categories of projects and involves a process of drawing together, in a systematic way, an assessment of a project’s likely significant environmental effects which must be considered before development consent (planning permission) is granted. 2.1.2 The EIA process leads to the presentation of information about the proposed project, along with its associated environmental effects, within an Environmental Statement (ES) for the consideration by the determining authority in deciding whether planning permission should be granted. 2.1.3 The EIA process itself has a number of required key characteristics, including that it is: • Systematic – the EIA is comprised of a series of tasks that are defined by regulation and practice; • Analytical – the EIA must be used to inform the decision making rather than promote the project itself; • Consultative – the EIA process must allow for and provide opportunity for interested parties and statutory consultees to provide feedback on the project and assessments undertaken; and • Iterative – the EIA process should allow for environmental concerns to be addressed during the planning and design stages of the project. 2.2 Regulatory context 2.2.1 The site of the proposed development is more than 1 hectare in area and constitutes major development as defined within the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (Wales) Order 2012 (as amended). Subsequently, the planning application has been scoped to accord with the requirements associated with major development as prescribed by the regulations. 2.2.2 The need to undertake an Environmental Impact Assessment is prescribed under the Town and Country Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) (Wales) Regulations 2017, hereafter referred to as the EIA Regulations. 2.2.3 The Nant Helen project is not Schedule I development. It also does not fit neatly within the definitions of Schedule II. However, as the earthworks have an area of works that exceeds 1 hectare and, based on the size of the project, the sensitivity of the local environment and the Environmental

Introduction 1.1 Section 69 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 imposes a duty on Local Planning Authorities to determine from time to time which parts of their area are ‘areas of special architectural or historic interest, the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance’ and to designate these areas as conservation areas. The central area and historic suburbs of Brecon comprise one of four designated conservation areas in the National Park. The Brecon Conservation Area was designated by the National Park Authority on the 12th June 1970. 1.2 Planning authorities have a duty to protect these areas from development which would harm their special historic or architectural character and this is reflected in the policies contained in the National Park’s Local Development Plan.

I am sincerely grateful to the efforts of everyone who has helped contribute to the making of this Plan which is so important for the future of Powys. Importantly, the Plan sets out a clear and strong strategy for meeting the future needs of the county’s communities over the next decade. By focussing development on our market towns and largest villages, it provides the direction and certainty to support investment and enable economic opportunities to be seized, to grow and support viable service centres and for housing development to accommodate our growing and changing household needs. At the same time the Plan provides the protection for our outstanding and important natural, built and cultural environments that make Powys such an attractive and special place in which to live, work, visit and enjoy. Our efforts along with all our partners must now shift to delivering the Plan for the benefit of our communities. Councillor Martin Weale Portfolio Holder for Economy and Planning

  • Heritage Audit
    Dulais Valley Partnership Heritage Audit May 2008 Background The Dulais Valley Partnership works in partnership with a number of agencies, such as the local authority, education and training institutions, Economic Development Agencies, voluntary organisations, democratically elected representatives and active community members to find solutions to the social and economic deprivation of the Dulais Valley. The staff of the Dulais Valley Partnership works with local volunteers, implementing a number of projects. In January 2008 a Community Heritage Officer was appointed on a two year Heritage Lottery funded project. Part of the role was to carry out a heritage audit of the Dulais Valley to inform plans and link with the wider framework. Sources consulted The basis of the audit involved consulting readily available archaeological and historical information from various sources including databases, documentary and cartographic. The following repositories of information were consulted: • West Glamorgan Archive Service (WGAS) : Historic maps including OS maps from 1876 to the present day, Tithe Map circa 1845 • Royal Commission for Ancient and Historic Monuments in Wales (RCAHMW) : National Monuments Record (NMR) • CADW : Listed Buildings • Glamorgan Gwent Archaeological Trust (GGAT) : Sites and Monuments Record (SMR) • Countryside Commission for Wales (CCW): Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) • Acciona Energy UK Ltd: Sites within the site boundary and within a 1 km study area. Scheduled Ancient monuments (SAM) Workshops and Open Days As well as the above sources a Workshop was held at the DOVE Workshop on Wednesday 5 March 2008 with members of the Cwm Dulais Historical Society. The aim was to identify sites of significant heritage interest.
