The Off-Site Power Station Facilities, which are an integral part of the Power Station, comprise the Alternative Emergency Control Centre, the Environmental Survey Laboratory and the Mobile Emergency Equipment Garage; and Associated Development – development to support the delivery of the Power Station, for example highway improvements along the A5025, the Park and Ride, Logistics Centre, and the Site Campus. 1.1.2 The purpose of this report is to provide cultural heritage baseline information to inform the Environmental Statements which are to be submitted in support of the planning application of Site Preparation and Clearance and the DCO application for the Wylfa Newydd Project. This cultural heritage baseline report is for terrestrial cultural heritage only; baseline information for marine cultural heritage will be presented in separate baseline reports. If required, separate baseline reports will also be produced for the Associated Development. 1.1.3 For the purposes of this report, cultural heritage is considered under the subtopics of archaeological remains, historic buildings and the historic landscape. The historic landscape has been divided into Historic Landscape Types (HLT).
