The project, funded by the Dŵr Cymru WFD Project Funding scheme, aimed to raise awareness of the water environment and improve water quality in the Swansea area. The project was part of, and built upon, a wider initiative developed by Environment Agency Wales, working in partnership with others to employ a holistic approach to managing water quality. Two new officer posts were created to deliver the project and these were supported by a steering group comprising representatives of the three partner organisations. The Dŵr Cymru WFD Project Funding scheme provided £100,000 to the project with an additional £30,000 contributed by Environment Agency Wales (replaced by Natural Resources Wales).

  • Application No. P2020/0362
    SECTION A – MATTERS FOR DECISION Planning Applications Recommended For Approval APPLICATION NO: P2020/0362 DATE: 22/05/2020 PROPOSAL: Construction of complementary restoration earthworks to create 2 looped landform platforms (part in cutting and part on embankment) with associated drainage infrastructure and areas of landscaping and habitat creation to create a flexible and adaptable area of land that could be used for a variety of uses including agriculture, nature conservation, leisure, tourism and industrial, research and development/business uses (potentially including a proposed rail testing, research and development and storage facility). (Cross-boundary application - see Powys CC Application ref. 20/0738/FUL) LOCATION: Land at and surrounding the Nant Helen Open Cast Coal Site, Powys, and Onllwyn Distribution Centre, Neath Port Talbot APPLICANT: Mr Rob Thompson, Celtic Energy Ltd, TYPE: Full Plans WARD: Onllwyn (also affecting Seven Sisters) BACKGROUND INFORMATION This proposal relates to a significant development site within the Dulais Valley which straddles the Neath Port Talbot and Powys administrative border. The site is largely within Powys but sections along the southern boundary are within Neath Port Talbot. Therefore, an identical application has been made to Powys CC, which is to be reported to PCC’s Planning, Taxi Licensing and Rights of Way Committee on 27th July 2020 (the outcome of which will be verbally reported to Members at Committee). While this report largely seeks to address only those matters which affect the land within the administrative boundary of Neath Port Talbot, due to the size of the development and the complexities associated with such a cross-boundary application, notably the assessment of the ‘planning balance’, the report also inevitably incorporates overarching assessments of impact which relate to the whole development and thus to both NPT and Powys (and the Brecon Beacons National Park beyond).

  • Report of Environment, Planning and Countryside Committee on the Evidence Taken During Its Review Of
    Cyngor Gwynedd Council Submission only available in Welsh Review of the Implementation and Operation of Technical Advice Note (TAN) 15 By The National Assembly for Wales’s Environment, Planning and Countryside Committee On 15th November 2006 (Deadline 20th October ) Written Evidence By Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council 1 The County Borough Council welcomes this review of the implementation and operation of TAN 15. The Authority is fully committed to addressing the implications of climate change and flood consequences. However, much of the developable land within the County Borough is affected by potential flooding risk. This includes large areas of the coastal urban areas and valley floors extending to the top of the Neath Valley. 2 Where there is a realistic risk of flooding this should be fully investigated before any planning proposal is considered. However, the Environment Agency continues to respond to planning consultations (concerning both Development Plan preparation and planning applications) in a negative and pedantic manner. Despite lengthy and repetitive discussions with the Environment Agency it continued to pursue many objections to the Authority’s UDP. 3 Within the coastal plain and valley areas it can be particularly difficult to identify land that is outside the floodplain and is well located in relation to existing communities, services and facilities. In some instances the boundaries of the TAN maps appear incorrect and the authority considers that in such instances the land could be allocated but with a requirement that any necessary flood consequences assessment is satisfactorily undertaken. At Glynneath Business Park, the Environment Agency maintained an objection to the UDP concerning an employment site that lay partly in zone C2 and partly in zone B.
