This is an updated version of the consultation summary of response report initially published in January 2018 it consolidates all representations received to the consultation. It was brought to our attention that a small number of representations received were not reviewed at the same time as the original but have since been reviewed and dealt with in the same way as the original representations and are set out in this version of the report. 2. A 12 week consultation exercise for the draft Integrated Sustainability Appraisal (ISA) of the National Development Framework (NDF) took place between April 28 2017 and July 21 2017. This consultation summary report details the representations to the consultation exercise, the Welsh Government response and outlines the next steps. What was the consultation about? 3. The consultation sought views on the draft ISA Scoping Report for the NDF. The draft Scoping Report is the first step of the ISA for the NDF. This was an important consultation as it will help steer the development of the ISA and the NDF, from its early stages. Consultation details 4. Stakeholders were contacted from a core consultation list held by the Planning Directorate of Welsh Government and also through the NDF newsletter. These stakeholders included all local planning authorities in Wales, together with relevant public bodies, businesses, special interest groups and professional bodies. The consultation documentation was also made available on the Welsh Government consultation website. A workshop was held on 2 May 2017 as part of the consultation on the draft Scoping report which enabled stakeholders to discuss and help shape the ISA. 5. In total, 35 consultation representations were received from: • Caerphilly County Borough Council; • Cardiff City Council; • Newport City Council; • Natural Resources Wales; • CADW; • Dyfodol i’r Iaith; • Mochdre with Penstrowed Community Council; • Llandudno Town Council; • Pupils2Parliament; • Health and Safety Executive; • Joint Response Wales Health Impact Assessment Support Unit Environmental Public Health Service Wales and Public Health Wales; • Three National Park Authorities; 1 • Accessible Retail; • Clwydian Range and Dee Valley AONB; • Glandŵr Cymru; • Home Builders Federation; • Age Cymru; • RTPI Cymru; • Barry Town Council; • Well-Being of Future Generations Commissioner; • Valpak Limited; • Newtown and Llanllwchaiarn Town Council; • Tidal Lagoon Power; • Persimmon Homes East Wales; • Royal Society or Architects in Wales (Royal Institute of British Architects); • Mineral Products Association; • Community Housing Cymru; • Wildlife Trusts Wales; • Sustrans Cymru; • Persimmon Homes West Wales; • Maesteg Town Council; • Community Council of Carew; • Historic Houses Association • Two Individuals 6. All representations have been considered fully. Welsh Government’s responses to the representations made, and how they have shaped the ISA, are recorded and presented within this summary consultation report in Annex 1. Next Steps 7. The ISA Scoping Report, as amended from the consultation, has been published alongside this consultation summary report: https://gov.wales/topics/planning/national-development-framework-for- wales/resources/integrated-sustainability-appraisal-scoping-report-for- the-national-development-framework/?lang=en . 8. The NDF Issues, Options and Preferred Option stage was published for a full public consultation in April 2018. 9. The issues, options and preferred option will be assessed using the ISA Framework within the Scoping Report and an Interim ISA Report will set out the details of this assessment. The ISA interim report will: • Demonstrate how the ISA has shaped the development of the NDF; • Set out the methodology for the appraisal; • Set out the options that were considered, how they were identified and any mitigation measures proposed; 2 • Set out the social, economic, cultural and environmental effects of the Issues and Options and Preferred Option; • Describe the proposals for monitoring. 10. This interim ISA Report was consulted upon. Further information about future stages of the ISA process can be found in Section 2.1 of the final Scoping Report. Statistical Breakdown and Overview of the Representations to Each Question 11. Many respondents did not fill in the consultation form when providing their response to the consultation. As such, a number of representations have been attributed as “no response”. This is because the respondent did not fill out the proforma that was provided but chose to submit a separate response. This is in contrast to some representations being attributed to “did not answer” who simply did not answer the question on the proforma. 3 Question 1 Do you support the findings of the review of relevant plans, programmes and environmental protection objectives? Are there any additional plans, programmes or environmental protection objectives you would like to add? Are there any that you would like to remove from the review?

  • Government Intervention in the Welsh Economy: 1974 to 1997. by Leon
    Government Intervention in the Welsh Economy: 1974 to 1997. By Leon Gooberman Submitted in accordance with the requirements for a PhD. Cardiff University i Acknowledgements I would like to thank my supervisors, Professor Scott Newton of the School of History, Archaeology and Religion, and Professor Derek Matthews of Cardiff Business School for their advice and support. Also, thanks are due to my interviewees, who generously gave of their time, knowledge and experience. Most importantly, thanks to Mari. This thesis would never have been completed without her constant support and encouragement. ii Summary This thesis provides a description and analysis of government intervention in the Welsh economy between 1974 and 1997. During this period, Wales underwent rapid and far-reaching economic upheaval on such a massive scale that few avoided its impact. The scale of these changes was dramatic, as was the intensity of attempts to deal with their consequences. Wales acted as a laboratory for the development of approaches to government intervention in the economy. This thesis defines government intervention in the Welsh economy, before identifying activity, expenditure and (where possible) outputs across categories including land reclamation, factory construction, attraction of foreign direct investment, urban renewal, business support and the provision of grants and subsidies. It also places such interventions in their political and economic contexts, highlighting the dynamics that evolved between policies developed in Cardiff and London. By doing this, it asks and answers three questions relating to the changing dynamics of government intervention; namely, what was done, why was it done and was it effective? The thesis draws on primary sources including interviews with politicians and those formerly holding senior positions within governmental organisations, records held by the National Archives, personal and organisational archives held by the National Library of Wales, records held by other archives, newspapers and government publications.

  • National Museums in Wales Sheila Watson & Andrew Sawyer
    Building National Museums in Europe 1750-2010. Conference proceedings from EuNaMus, European National Museums: Identity Politics, the Uses of the Past and the European Citizen, Bologna 28-30 April 2011. Peter Aronsson & Gabriella Elgenius (eds) EuNaMus Report No 1. Published by Linköping University Electronic Press: http://www.ep.liu.se/ecp_home/index.en.aspx?issue=064 © The Author. National Museums in Wales Sheila Watson & Andrew Sawyer Summary This report considers national museums in Wales. Welsh MPs have sat at Westminster since the early sixteenth century, and the country was integrated with England to a greater extent than other nations making up the UK. In addition, there are strong contrasts between the rural centre and north of the country and the industrial south. The country is very mountainous which has affected its development. Nationalism in Wales reflected this, and is outlined in the Introduction. For a range of reasons, including conquest by the English in the medieval period, and the Tudor incorporation of Welsh leaders into the English elite, together with the country’s shared border with southern England, nationalism in Wales was less strident than that in Scotland and Ireland. For reasons explored below, there was something of a rift between the Anglican Church, which became associated with the English, and ‘Dissenters’ who were associated with Welshness. In the nineteenth century, the mineral reserves of South Wales, especially coal, led to an industrial revolution that provided employment for many Welsh people (and drew in English immigrants). As with other British nations, the experience of the Second World War helped develop a shared unity with the rest of the UK.
