Table 1: Specialist Consultees Responses

Specialist Consultee Response Network Rail The Applicant did not receive a response from Network Rail. Welsh Ministers The Applicant did not receive a response from Welsh Ministers. Welsh Government The Welsh Government confirmed that they have no objection on trunk road grounds.

The local highway authority Provided confirmation of no highway and drainage objections to the concerned (Neath Port Talbot proposed application. County Borough Council Highways Authority) Health and Safety Executive The Applicant did not receive a response from the Health and Safety Executive. Cadw Confirmed that the proposed development will not have any impact on the scheduled monument GM291 (Llandarcy Round Cairn) or its setting due to the intervening buildings, vegetation and natural topography. Noted that there might be undesignated historic assets that could be affected by the proposed development and it is advised that consultation with the Historic Environment Record held by the Glamorgan Gwent-Archaeological Trust should be undertaken; and Overall, no objections to the proposed development based on its impacts on the scheduled monument.

Dwr Cymru Welsh Water The site is crossed by a private foul water only sewer, prior to commencing operational development DCWW advises contacting the owners of this asset. No foul water will be generated by development proposals. Advised that the applicant may need to apply to Dwr Cymru Welsh Water for any connection to the public sewer under S106 of the Water Industry Act 1991 if the connection to the public sewer network is either via a lateral drain or via a new sewer because it is now a mandatory requirement to first enter into a Section 104 Adoption Agreement (Water Industry Act 1991).

28845/A3/TE/JA -8- June 2019

Land to the rear of Unit 6A, Coed Darcy Business Park Summary of consultation responses

Specialist Consultee Response The applicant is also advised that some public sewers and lateral drains may not be recorded on DCWW maps of public sewers because they were originally privately owned and were transferred into public ownership by nature of the Water Industry (Schemes for Adoption of Private Sewers) Regulations 2011. The presence of such assets may affect the proposal.

The Coal Authority Confirmed that the proposed development site falls within the coalfield, however, it is located outside the defined Development High Risk Area meaning that there are no recorded coal mining legacy hazards at shallow depth that could pose a risk to land stability. Accordingly, there is no requirement to submit a Coal Mining Risk Assessment in support of a planning application for the redevelopment of this site, The Coal Authority confirmed that Neath Port Talbot County Council will not need to consult with The Coal Authority on any planning application for this site.

Natural Resources Wales The operation will require a permit from NRW. It is encouraged that the permit application runs parallel with the DNS Application. No adverse comments relating to noise which will be c onsidered under the environmental permit application. Identified sensitive receptors (European and UK protected sites) within 2km of the site, which were correctly identified in December 2018 produced by AECOM, however, NRW consider that any effect on the identified sites is unlikely as the air quality impact assessment report shows the emission levels from the development to be low. NRW stated that a HRA document is required to aid the competent authority in assessing the application under Regulation 61 of the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2010 (as amended). NRW confirms that additional landscaping for the purposes of visual amenity is not required for the application.

Development Summary

The development is a 20-megawatt electricity generation facility providing electricity to meet consumer requirements at periods of peak electricity demand when there is insufficient electricity available to the National Grid from the UK's base load power stations. The facility is designed tomeetthe requirements of National Grid's contracts and sits in standby/idle mode ready to operate when called on by the National Grid to do so being fully operational and generating electricity in less than 5 minutes. Typically, the plant operatesforperiods ofnotmorethanthirty minutesatatimetotalling 500 hours or less in a year.

The application site is located within the Coed Darcy Strategic Regeneration Area (SRA) allocated by way of Policy SRA1 of the Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council Local Development Plan. It lies within thecommercial area ofthe SRA. Thesite, therefore, is located within a wholly industrial complex and the surrounding land is characterised by industrial buildings andcommercial storage. It is considered thatthenature, scaleand location ofthedevelopmentdonotconflict with theaimsofthe SRA. Thereasonwhythe facility is locatedwhere it is hasbeendictated bytheavailability ofasuitable connection

5th April 2019 Dear Sir / Madam

RE: LAND TO THE REAR OF UNIT 6A COED DARCY BUSINESS PARK, LLANDARCY, NEATH PORT TALBOT

As an adjoining landowner, I am writing to you today to notify you that PeakGen Power 5 Limited is preparing a planning application at land to the rear of Unit 6A Coed Darcy Business Park, Llandarcy, Neath Port Talbot. The description of the proposed development is as follows:

“Part retrospective application for an existing electricity generation operating reserve compound to support the National Grid comprising 10 no.x 2 megawatt generating containers, together with associated switchgear, site access, boundary treatments and ancillary plant and equipment with proposed installation of additional ancillary plant and equipment including the installation of Selective Catalytic Reduction units”.

By way of background, planning permission was granted on the 21 st of January 2012 (Application Reference Number: P2012/1061) for a 20MW electricity generation facility. The planning permission has been implemented and the facility has been built and operated subsequently. However, certain pre- commencement planning conditions were not satisfied and following the introduction of new legislation the facility now qualifies as a Development of National Significance, which means that a new planning application is required under the new legislation to regularise the position. I n addition, Peak Gen are seeking permission to install exhaust gas treatment to the generating units in order to comply with tighter emissions targets effective from January 2019 under the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) (Amendment) Regulation s 2018.

We are seeking your views on the development and have made the contents of the draft planning application available electronically at http://www.peakgenllandarcy.co.uk

Development Summary

The development is a 20-megawatt electricity generation facility providing electricity to meet consumer requirements at periods of peak electricity demand when there is insufficient electricity available to the National Grid from the UK's base load power stations. The fa cility is designed to meet the requirements of National Grid's contracts and sits in standby/idle mode ready to operate when called on by the National Grid to do so being fully operational and generating electricity in less than 5 minutes. Typically, the plant operates for periods of not more than thirty minutes at a time totalling 500 hours or less in a year.

28845/A3/JA/nfi/lb -2- 5th April 2019

The application site is located within the Coed Darcy Strategic Regeneration Area (SRA) allocated by way of Policy SRA1 of the Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council Local Development Plan. It lies within the commercial area of the SRA. The site, therefore, is located within a wholly industrial complex and the surrounding land is characterised by industrial buildings and commercial storage. It is considered that the nature, scale and location of the development do not conflict with the aims of the SRA. The reason why the facility is located where it is has been dictated by the availability of a suitable connection point to the local electricity grid with available land zoned in planning policy terms as suitable for this type of use.

National Planning Policy (as set out in PPW Paragraph 5.7.13) supports development of this nature as it helps provide vital flexibility to support an increasing amount of low carbon generation and to maintain security of supply. This type of development is essential supporting infrastructure which is needed to support the National Grid and continuous supply of electricity is essential for the economy and society as a whole.

As the scheme comprises an electricity generating station with an installed generating capacity of between 10 and 50 MW, it falls within the definition of a ‘Development of National Significance’ (DNS) under section 4 of the Developments of National Significance (Specified Criteria and Prescribed Secondary Consents) (Wales) Regulations 2016, for the purposes of s62(D) of the Planning (Wales) Act 2015 ("the Wales Act"). This application is therefore made to the Welsh Ministers seeking planning permission for development carried out before the date of the application without compliance with some conditions subject to which planning permission was granted.

The facility will additionally be operated under an environmental permit from Natural Resources Wales (NRW). The permit will ensure that the site is operated and monitored in a way that meets the environmental criteria set out in legislation and required by NRW.

Dear Mr. Lewis,

Pre-Planning Application – Part retrospective application for an existing electricity operation generation reserve compound to support the National Grid, comprising 10 no. x 2 megawatt generating containers, together with associated switchgear, site access, boundary treatment and ancillary plant and equipment, with proposed installation of additional ancillary plant and equipment, including the installation of Selective Catalytic Reduction units, Land to the rear of Unit 6A Coed Darcy Business Park, Llandarcy, Neath Port Talbot

Thank you for your letter of 21 March 2019 inviting our comments on the pre-planning application consultation for the proposed development described above.

Advice

The following comments are based on information made available to us as part of the pre- application consultation and we will review our comments when we are consulted on the final planning application.

Having carefully considered the information provided with this planning application, we have no objections to the impact of the proposed development on the scheduled monument.

Our role

Our statutory role in the planning process is to provide the local planning authority with an assessment concerned with the likely impact that the proposal will have on scheduled monuments, registered historic parks and gardens, registered historic landscapes where an Environmental Impact Assessment is required and development likely to have an impact on the outstanding universal value of a World Heritage Site. We do not provide an assessment of the likely impact of the development on listed buildings or conservation areas, as these are matters for the local authority. It is for the local planning authority to weigh our assessment against all the other material considerations in determining whether to approve planning permission.

Applications for planning permission are considered in light of the Welsh Government’s land use planning policy and guidance contained in Planning Policy Wales (PPW), Technical Advice Notes and related guidance.

PPW (Chapter 6 – The Historic Environment) explains that it is important that the planning system looks to protect, conserve and enhance the significance of historic assets. This will include consideration of the setting of an historic asset which might extend beyond its curtilage. Any change that impacts on an historic asset or its setting should be managed in a sensitive and sustainable way.

The conservation of archaeological remains and their settings is a material consideration in determining a planning application, whether those remains are a scheduled monument or not. Where nationally important archaeological remains are likely to be affected by proposed development, there should be a presumption in favour of their physical protection in situ. It will only be in exceptional circumstances that planning permission will be granted if development would result in a direct adverse impact on a scheduled monument (or an archaeological site shown to be of national importance).

Technical Advice Note 24: The Historic Environment elaborates by explaining that when considering development proposals that affect scheduled monuments or other nationally important archaeological remains, there should be a presumption in favour of their physical preservation in situ, i.e. a presumption against proposals which would involve significant alteration or cause damage, or would have a significant adverse impact causing harm within the setting of the remains.

Assessment

Scheduled monument Llandarcy Round Cairn (GM291) is located within a 1km buffer of the application area, but due to intervening buildings, vegetation and natural topography, the application area is not inter-visible with the scheduled monument. Therefore, the proposed development will have no impact on the scheduled monument GM291or its setting.

Finally, there may also be undesignated historic assets that could be affected by the proposed development and, if you have not already done so, we would advise that you consult the Historic Environment Record held by the Glamorgan-Gwent Archaeological Trust (www.ggat.org.uk).

Yours sincerely,

Dear Mr Lewis,

Site Address: Rear of Unit 6A Coed Darcy Business Park, Llandarcy, Neath Development: Part retrospective application for an existing electricity generation operating reserve compound to support National Grid

I refer to the Schedule 1C - Article 2D notice received and your formal request for a pre-application consultation response before applying for planning permission from Dwr Cymru Welsh Water as a ‘Specialist Consultee’ as defined by Paragraph (y) of Schedule 4 of the Town & Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (Wales) (Amendment) Order 2016. It is acknowledged that the consultation request relates to a major development site and thus seeks a substantive response within 28 days from the date of the notice, 22rd of March 2019, as per the requirements of Article 2E. This request includes our views on the capacity of our network of assets and infrastructure to accommodate your proposed development.

Having reviewed the details submitted I would advise there is no objection to the proposed development and offer the following standing advice which should be taken into account within any future planning application for the development:

SEWERAGE

We note that no foul water will be generated by development proposals.

The site is crossed by a private foul water only sewer, prior to commencing operational development we would advise contacting the owners of this asset.

Advisory Notes

The applicant may need to apply to Dwr Cymru / Welsh Water for any connection to the public sewer under S106 of the Water industry Act 1991. If the connection to the public sewer network is either via a lateral drain (i.e. a drain which extends beyond the connecting property boundary) or via a new sewer (i.e. serves more than one property), it is now a mandatory requirement to first enter into a Section 104 Adoption Agreement (Water Industry Act 1991). The design of the sewers and lateral drains must also conform to the Welsh Ministers Standards for Gravity Foul Sewers and Lateral Drains, and conform with the publication "Sewers for Adoption"- 7th Edition. Further information can be obtained via the Developer Services pages of www.dwrcymru.com

The applicant is also advised that some public sewers and lateral drains may not be recorded on our maps of public sewers because they were originally privately owned and were transferred into public ownership by nature of the Water Industry (Schemes for Adoption of Private Sewers) Regulations 2011. The presence of such assets may affect the proposal. In order to assist us in dealing with the proposal the applicant may contact Dwr Cymru Welsh Water to establish the location and status of the apparatus. Under the Water Industry Act 1991 Dwr Cymru Welsh Water has rights of access to its apparatus at all times.

Please note that our response is based on the information provided in your enquiry and should the information change we reserve the right to make a new representation. Should you have any queries or wish to discuss any aspect of our response please do not hesitate to contact our dedicated team of planning officers, either on 0800 917 2652 or via email at [email protected]

Dear Mr Lewis

Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (Wales) Order 2012 (as amended 2016)

Schedule 1C Article 2D - Consultation before applying for planning permission

Land to the rear of Unit 6A Coed Darcy Business Park, Llandarcy, Neath Port Talbot

Thank you for your notification of 21 March 2019 seeking the pre-application views of the Coal Authority on the above.

I have checked the site location plan (Drawing No. 9000 Rev A) against our coal mining information and can confirm that, whilst the proposed development site falls within the coalfield, it is located outside the defined Development High Risk Area meaning that there are no recorded coal mining legacy hazards at shallow depth that could pose a risk to land stability.

Accordingly, there is no requirement to submit a Coal Mining Risk Assessment in support of a planning application for the redevelopment of this site. The Local Planning Authority will not consult the Coal Authority on any planning application for this site.

Yours sincerely
