Transformer Rectifier TTGDC Thurrock Thames Gateway Development Corporation TWAO Transport and Works Act Order UK United Kingdom UPS Uninterruptible Power Supply GEC Underground Gas Pipeline and Associated Above Ground Installation July 2011 PREFACE In February 2010, Gateway Energy Centre Limited (GECL) submitted an application for consent under Section 36 of the Electricity Act 1989 to the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change to construct a 900 Megawatts Electrical (MWe) Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) Power Plant to be known as Gateway Energy Centre (GEC). In addition, a direction that planning permission be deemed to be granted under Section 90 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 was also sought. The application was accompanied by an Environmental Statement (ES) prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Electricity Works (Environmental Impact Assessment) (England and Wales) Regulations 2000 (as amended). Following submission of the Section 36 consent application, consultation responses were received and meetings were held with key consultees from which clarifications on the application were sought and supplementary information requested. The clarifications and supplementary information were presented in an Environmental Statement Further Information Document (ES FID), accompanied by a number of supporting documents and submitted to the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) in December 2010. The proposed GEC is to be located on land within the London Gateway Port / London Gateway Logistics and Business Park development, collectively called the LG Development, which is being promoted by DP World and is currently in the early stages of construction. Further to the development of GEC, GECL proposes to construct an underground gas pipeline and associated above ground installation (AGI) required in connection with the development of GEC. In March 2011, GECL submitted an application for planning permission to Thurrock Thames Gateway Development Corporation (TTGDC) under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 for the installation of the proposed underground gas pipeline and associated AGI. The application was accompanied by an ES prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Town and Country Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) (England and Wales) Regulations 1999, as amended. The installation of electrical infrastructure for the High Voltage (HV) grid connection associated with the development of GEC will be the subject of a separate application to be made in due course to either TTGDC or Thurrock Council under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and / or under the Planning Act 2008 to the Infrastructure Planning Commission (IPC), or to the Major Infrastructure Planning Unit (MIPU) which will replace the IPC. Following submission of the application for the underground gas pipeline and associated AGI, consultation responses were received and meetings were held with certain of those parties. In addition, since submission of the application in March 2011 certain changes in planning and energy policy have occurred. The ES FID and the accompanying appendices, which have been provided to TTGDC, provides further information in these regards. The following terms are adopted for the purposes of this ES FID: x “Further Information” means additional information provided by the applicant to supplement the information in the ES. x "Any Other Information" means any other substantive information relating to the ES and provided by the applicant. x “Supplementary Information” means the further information and any other information. The ES FID is provided to supplement the information provided in the ES, and will be advertised by TTGDC as if it had been requested pursuant to Regulation 19 of the Town and Country Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) (England and Wales) Regulations 1999 (“the 1999 EIA Regulations”). Notice of the March 2011 application for planning permission for the underground gas pipeline and associated AGI, was advertised under Article 13(3) of the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2010.

  • Modified UK National Implementation Measures for Phase III of the EU Emissions Trading System
    Modified UK National Implementation Measures for Phase III of the EU Emissions Trading System As submitted to the European Commission in April 2012 following the first stage of their scrutiny process This document has been issued by the Department of Energy and Climate Change, together with the Devolved Administrations for Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. April 2012 UK’s National Implementation Measures submission – April 2012 Modified UK National Implementation Measures for Phase III of the EU Emissions Trading System As submitted to the European Commission in April 2012 following the first stage of their scrutiny process On 12 December 2011, the UK submitted to the European Commission the UK’s National Implementation Measures (NIMs), containing the preliminary levels of free allocation of allowances to installations under Phase III of the EU Emissions Trading System (2013-2020), in accordance with Article 11 of the revised ETS Directive (2009/29/EC). In response to queries raised by the European Commission during the first stage of their assessment of the UK’s NIMs, the UK has made a small number of modifications to its NIMs. This includes the introduction of preliminary levels of free allocation for four additional installations and amendments to the preliminary free allocation levels of seven installations that were included in the original NIMs submission. The operators of the installations affected have been informed directly of these changes. The allocations are not final at this stage as the Commission’s NIMs scrutiny process is ongoing. Only when all installation-level allocations for an EU Member State have been approved will that Member State’s NIMs and the preliminary levels of allocation be accepted.

SITE SPECIFIC PROVISIONS 8 7. MONITORING & IMPLEMENTATION 19 8. NEXT STEPS 19 APPENDICES 20 GLOSSARY OF TERMS REFERENCE LIST INTERNAL DRAFT VERSION JUNE 2006 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 We would like to get your views on future development and planning of Thurrock to 2021. A new system of “Spatial Planning” has been introduced that goes beyond traditional land-use planning and seeks to integrate the various uses of land with the various activities that people use land for. The new spatial plans must involve wider community consultation and involvement and be based on principles of sustainable development. 1.2 The main over-arching document within the LDF portfolio is the Core Strategy. This sets out the vision, objectives and strategy for the development of the whole area of the borough. The Site Specific Allocations and Policies is very important as it underpins the delivery of the Core Strategy. It enables the public to be consulted on the various specific site proposals that will guide development in accordance with the Core Strategy. 1.3 Many policies in the plans will be implemented through the day-to-day control of development through consideration of planning applications. This document also looks at the range of such Development Control policies that might be needed.

  • Gateway Energy Centre Environmental Statement
    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY EXECUTIVE SUMMARY EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Parsons Brinkerhoff Ltd. (PB) was commissioned by Gateway Energy Centre Limited (GECL) to undertake a Flood Risk Assessment (FRA) at the proposed site of the Gateway Energy Centre (GEC) Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) Power Station. The aim of this FRA is to determine the risk of flooding to the site and the potential flooding impact of the development on the surrounding area. The proposed GEC site is located on the banks of the River Thames, near Coryton in Thurrock. The site is approximately 11.3 ha and forms one of several plots of land within the former Thames Haven Oil Refinery. Alongside development of the GEC, the remainder of the Thames Haven landholding will be developed as the London Gateway (LG) Logistics and Business Park (for further information on the LG Logistics and Business Park and the wider LG Development see the Environmental Statement (ES) Volume 1 of the GEC ES). A Level 3 FRA has already been undertaken for the LG Development as a whole. This FRA indicates that the GEC site is at risk from tidal flooding from the Thames Estuary, particularly from storm surge tides. However, it also indicates that the site is currently protected by flood defences which offer adequate protection of the site from both a 1 in 200 and 1 in 1,000 year flood event. This FRA also indicates that a new dock and quay wall will be constructed as part of the LG Port development which will provide extra protection to the site, beyond the predicted 1 in 1,000 year flood event throughout the lifespan of the CCGT site, even taking into consideration the affects of climate change.

  • 233 08 SD50 Environment Permitting Decision Document
    Environment Agency Review of an Environmental Permit for an Installation subject to Chapter II of the Industrial Emissions Directive under the Environmental Permitting (England & Wales) Regulations 2016 Decision document recording our decision-making process following review of a permit The Permit number is: EPR/EP3833LY The Operator is: Coryton Energy Company Limited The Installation is: Coryton Power Station This Variation Notice number is: EPR/EP3833LY/V003 What this document is about Article 21(3) of the Industrial Emissions Directive (IED) requires the Environment Agency to review conditions in permits that it has issued and to ensure that the permit delivers compliance with relevant standards, within four years of the publication of updated decisions on best available techniques (BAT) conclusions. We have reviewed the permit for this installation against the revised BAT Conclusions for large combustion plant published on 17th August 2017. This is our decision document, which explains the reasoning for the consolidated variation notice that we are issuing. It explains how we have reviewed and considered the techniques used by the Operator in the operation and control of the plant and activities of the installation. This review has been undertaken with reference to the decision made by the European Commission establishing best available techniques (BAT) conclusions (‘BAT Conclusions’) for large combustion plant as detailed in document reference IEDC-7-1. It is our record of our decision-making process and shows how we have taken into account all relevant factors in reaching our position. It also provides a justification for the inclusion of any specific conditions in the permit that are in addition to those included in our generic permit template.
