It is our intention to submit an application for a Transport and Works Act Order to the Welsh Government, and a Marine Licence application under the Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009 to Natural Resources Wales. Menter Môn Cyf (Menter Môn) is seeking a scoping opinion for the proposed Morlais Tidal Array (MTA) project, in in respect of our application for a Marine Licence under the Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009. Two earlier scoping reports have previously been submitted to Natural Resources Wales (NRW), the Marine Management Organisation (MMO) and the Isle of Anglesey County Council (IoACC) in support of earlier versions of the MTA project, and are now superseded as a result of further development in the project design. The proposed installed capacity of the project has been increased in response to industry demand, and the Project is now seeking consent for an array of up to 240MW capacity and associated supporting infrastructure. This report is submitted for the purpose of seeking a scoping opinion from NRW on the revised scope of the Project. Comment is also sought and welcomed from other stakeholders with an interest in the proposed development. After receipt of a scoping opinion, an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) will be undertaken. A single Environmental Statement (ES) will be submitted to support a consent application to the Welsh Government, which will include offshore and onshore project components. The ES will also be used to support an application for a Marine Licence under the Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009, which will also include both onshore and offshore components. The EIA process will be informed by the scoping opinion received in relation to this scoping report. This scoping report has been produced by Royal HaskoningDHV and includes a description of the proposed development, description of baseline environment as currently understood and a description of the approach to the EIA.

  • People, Places and Policy
    People, Places and Policy Set within the context of UK devolution and constitutional change, People, Places and Policy offers important and interesting insights into ‘place-making’ and ‘locality-making’ in contemporary Wales. Combining policy research with policy-maker and stakeholder interviews at various spatial scales (local, regional, national), it examines the historical processes and working practices that have produced the complex political geography of Wales. This book looks at the economic, social and political geographies of Wales, which in the context of devolution and public service governance are hotly debated. It offers a novel ‘new localities’ theoretical framework for capturing the dynamics of locality-making, to go beyond the obsession with boundaries and coterminous geog- raphies expressed by policy-makers and politicians. Three localities – Heads of the Valleys (north of Cardiff), central and west coast regions (Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire and the former district of Montgomeryshire in Powys) and the A55 corridor (from Wrexham to Holyhead) – are discussed in detail to illustrate this and also reveal the geographical tensions of devolution in contemporary Wales. This book is an original statement on the making of contemporary Wales from the Wales Institute of Social and Economic Research, Data and Methods (WISERD) researchers. It deploys a novel ‘new localities’ theoretical framework and innovative mapping techniques to represent spatial patterns in data. This allows the timely uncovering of both unbounded and fuzzy relational policy geographies, and the more bounded administrative concerns, which come together to produce and reproduce over time Wales’ regional geography.

The work is intended to form a Cultural Heritage chapter of an Environmental Statement. The proposed scheme comprises a single wind turbine, approximately 77m high to tip of the blade, at Nant-y-fran, Cemaes, Anglesey, LL67 0LS. The impact assessment for the turbine has been commissioned by Engena Limited (The Old Stables, Bosmere Hall, Creeting St Mary, Suffolk, IP6 8LL). The local planning authority is the Isle of Anglesey County Council. The planning reference is 20C27B/SCR.

  • Anglesey Coastal Heathland and Grasslands
    Wales Grassland and Heathland Ecosystem Group Priority Action Anglesey Coastal Heathland and Grasslands The Anglesey Heathland Strategy (2003) states that; “heathland forms an important component of the Anglesey landscape. The designation of most of Anglesey’s coastline as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) affords national recognition of its coastal heathland, which contribute greatly to the scenic character of the best landscape on Anglesey. Since the AONB is a key resource underpinning the tourist industry, it follows that heathland should be recognised as a feature of that resource to be valued, protected and managed”. The international botanical significance of the Anglesey coastal heaths is illustrated through their identification as an Important Plant Area (the North West Anglesey Heaths and Sea Cliffs IPA). As such they represent the top 5% of the remaining heathland resource in the UK. Much of Anglesey’s heathland is fragmented, isolated and interspersed with other semi- natural habitats and improved farmland. However on the exposed west and north coasts a series of sites supports some of the finest heathland and maritime grassland on the island. This band of coastal vegetation is not continuous but substantial stretches of heathland and maritime grassland occur on Holy Island, between Church Bay and Cemlyn Bay, near Porth Wen and between Amlwch and Pont Lynas. A particularly unusual example of lichen-rich wave-form maritime heath is found at Breakwater Country Park and Penrhyn Mawr near South Stack shows one of the best examples of coastal zonation in maritime heath in Wales. The key issues which needs to be addressed on Anglesey, as in many coastal areas of Wales, is the decline of the agricultural use of coastal land which is both difficult to manage and offers little economic reward.
