  • Extended Relevant Representations. Neath Port Talbot Country Borough
    Extended Relevant Representations. Neath Port Talbot Country Borough Council considers that the project has the potential to have significant effects both positively and negatively upon this complex and highly dynamic coastal environment, as well as the associated communities, biodiversity and economic interests associated with it. As such, the Authority would wish to see the following relevant issues appraised through the examination process: 1) Coastal Processes and Biodiversity: These are extremely complex issues, with the project having the potential to impact directly and indirectly upon both the terrestrial and marine environments, as well as commercial and tourism economies of the area. Concerns remain about the potential uncertainties within the applicant’s submitted assessments, proposed monitoring and potential mitigation measures. Adverse impacts due to coastal processes could affect the navigable status of the River Neath through the potential requirement for addition dredging, erosion of sands from Aberavon, Port Talbot and Margam beaches, as well as the potential impacts upon the protected habitat areas of Crymlyn Burrows (SSSI) and Kenfig (SSSI, SAC and NNR). 2) Sewerage Outfall: We are concerned about the potential associated risks with the developer’s apparent preferred option to retain the sewerage outfall within the confines of the lagoon. Any failure of the proposed system would adversely impact upon water quality, but could also irreparably damage the reputation of Swansea Bay as a tourism destination. In addition such potential events would jeopardise the lagoons chances of becoming a regional resource for water sports, tourism and leisure activities as well as the proposed use of the area for shellfish farming.

  • Swansea Council Section 6 Biodiversity Duty Monitoring Report to Welsh Government December 2019
    Swansea Council Section 6 Biodiversity Duty Monitoring Report to Welsh Government December 2019 A. Introduction 1. Since 2015, Swansea Council (together with all other public bodies) has been given increased responsibilities and legal duties to maintain and enhance the natural environment and biodiversity as a result of the following: The Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015, Resilient Wales Goal: ‘A nation which maintains and enhances a biodiverse natural environment with healthy functioning ecosystems that support social, economic and ecological resilience and the capacity to adapt to change (for example climate change)’ The Environment (Wales) Act 2016 (Part 1) Section 6 Biodiversity and Resilience of Ecosystems Duty which requires that : ‘A public authority must seek to maintain and enhance biodiversity in the exercise of functions in relation to Wales, and in so doing promote the resilience of ecosystems, so far as consistent with the proper exercise of those functions’ 2. In complying with the Section 6 Biodiversity Duty, the Council is required to prepare and submit to Welsh Government by the end of 2019 (and then every three years after this date) a report (Section 6 monitoring Report) outlining what it has done to comply with the Biodiversity Duty. 3. Since the Environment (Wales) Act 2016 came into force much work has been undertaken by the Council at both a strategic and operational level to maintain and enhance biodiversity and the resilience of ecosystems. 4. This report is Swansea Council’s first Section 6

  • 2. Urban Geology of Swansea and Port Talbot
    Waters et al . Urban geology of Swansea and Port Talbot 2. Urban geology of Swansea and Port Talbot Waters, C N, Price, S J, Davies, J, Tye, A M, Brown, S E & Schofield, D I The conurbation of Swansea–Neath–Port Talbot is one of the main centres of industrial development in South Wales. A long history of mineral extraction and processing, which stoked the initial growth of the towns, declined during the 20 th Century. Many of these former industries have left a legacy of groundwater, water- course and land contamination. A project funded by the Environment & Hazards Directorate (British Geological Survey) between 2000-2005 used available geological data to determine potential areas of contaminated land and understand the influence of the geology to pollutant pathways (Waters et al ., In press a). The study covered 100 km 2 of the Swansea- Neath-Port Talbot area (Fig. 2.1) and was aimed at providing data relevant to contaminated land issues, to augment the study by Arup (1997) on earth science information relevant to planning and development for the Swansea-Llanelli district, and look at new methodologies of presenting the data. Contaminated land is defined as areas where a Source-Pathway-Receptor linkage can be established (DoE, 1995). In order to determine Source areas it is necessary to appreciate the industrial development of the region by collecting information on current and former land use and the extent and nature of artificial deposits. The degree that contamination of Source areas is a problem can be established from analysis of soil geochemistry. The Pathway component represents the migration of contaminants through the air, surface water or groundwater.
