Introduction The promoter 1.1 On behalf Wrexham Power Limited (WPL) Savills and Atkins have been instructed to carry out an environmental impact assessment (EIA) and produce an environmental statement (ES) to identify the likely significant environmental effects of the proposed combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power station, overhead power line, gas pipeline and other infrastructure works. 1.2 WPL is a joint venture between St. Modwen and Glenfinnan Properties, established with the intention of promoting a new power station development at Wrexham. Both companies have extensive experience in the development and economic regeneration of sites throughout the UK, including experience in the energy sector. 1.3 WPL has employed a project team comprising: Atkins - engineering design and environmental consultants Savills - town planning and property consultants Local Dialogue - community and stakeholder relations; Pinsent Masons - legal advisers 1.4 The team is tasked with developing the power station proposals in dialogue with Wrexham County Borough Council (WCBC), landowners, the local community and other interested parties in order to secure a Development Consent Order for the proposed Wrexham Energy Centre. The proposed development 1.5 WPL is promoting the development of the Wrexham Energy Centre and Connections (WECC) which will comprise a new CCGT power station at Wrexham Industrial Estate in North Wales which will have an electrical generation capacity of up to 1,200 megawatts (MW). It will require a connection from the national gas transmission network and a connection to the electricity grid. The proposal constitutes a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP) under the terms of the Planning Act 2008 and therefore an application for a development consent order (DCO) is to be made to the Planning Inspectorate (PINS), who will examine the DCO application on behalf of the Secretary of State. 1.6 The CCGT is likely to comprise two separate turbine houses each containing a gas and steam turbine driving a common generator. The power station would require a cooling system to condense the exhaust steam from the steam turbine. It would also include an electricity sub-station on-site for the export of electricity to the grid. In addition there would be smaller buildings including for the station control room, offices, stores and water treatment plant. November 2012 7 Wrexham Energy Centre and Connections EIA Scoping Report The need for the development 1.7 National policy in relation to NSIPs, such as that proposed, is set out in the National Policy Statements (NPSs). Under the Planning Act 2008 the NPSs form the basis for decisions on NSIP applications, which must also take into account other matters set out in the Planning Act 2008, including any material considerations. 1.8 The Overarching National Policy Statement for Energy (EN-1)1, designated in 2011, sets out the need for new electricity generating stations. It should be noted that the NPSs refer to the Infrastructure Planning Commission (IPC) as the examining body for NSIPs. However, the IPC was abolished through the Localism Act 2011 with (broadly) its decision-making responsibilities transferred to the Secretary

  • Wrexham Unitary Development Plan
    Wrexham Unitary Development Plan Monitoring Report 2004-5 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This is the third Unitary Development Plan Monitoring Report produced by Wrexham County Borough Council, in accordance with the requirements of the Welsh Assembly Government. It covers the year 2004-5 and also looks at the general context and long term trends. Among the key findings of the report are: The Wrexham Unitary Development Plan: the Wrexham UDP, which sets out policies and proposals for the development and use of land in the County Borough up to 2011, was adopted on 14th February 2005. Housing: there were 395 housing completions in 2004-5, slightly below the average since 1996 of 420. The UDP policy figure is 385 dwellings per annum. The County Borough had a housing land supply in 2004 of 7.10 years, well above the minimum of 5 years required by Planning Policy Wales. Employment: the take up of employment land in 2004-5 was 7.1 hectares, compared with the average since 1996 of 6.9 hectares per annum, and the UDP policy figure of 20 hectares per annum. Shopping: Details of the non food retail warehousing scheme on the former Carlsberg Tetley site were approved by the Council in 2004, and the development is now under construction. A major retail development at the Eagles Meadow site in Wrexham was granted planning permission in July 2005. Wrexham is ranked as the third most important shopping centre in Wales, and 101st in the UK. Transport: Construction of the Wrexham Industrial Estate access road was delayed by the decision of the Welsh Assembly Government not to approve the necessary Compulsory Purchase Orders.

  • Welsh Government Steps in After Tory Ministers Refuse to Support Ruabon Station
    1 02.03.2020 Thank you to Councillor Dana Davis for sending in the following report for the Ruabon News Letter Welsh Government steps in after Tory ministers refuse to support Ruabon Station - again! The Welsh Labour Government could be set to pay for access improvements to Ruabon Station after the UK Government announced it had rejected a bid for crucial investment for a second time. Within hours of learning that the Department for Transport (DfT) had rejected the latest funding bid, Welsh Government ministers declared they would step in and explore taking forward the project alone. Responsibility for track, stations and signalling is with the UK Government, who choose where to invest. In the past five years their spending has led to a £1bn under-investment in Wales, something the Labour First Minister Mark Drakeford has described as the ‘Tory Great Train Robbery’. In an attempt to incentivise the UK Government to invest in Welsh stations, including Ruabon, the Welsh Government has offered to match-fund vital upgrades. However, UK Conservative ministers today once again refused to pay for improvements that they are responsible for. Cllr Dana Davies has been involved in the campaign for improved disabled access at Ruabon Station and has worked alongside the Friends of Ruabon and former MP Susan Elan Jones to fight for step-free access at both platforms. Cllr Davies, who represents Ruabon on Wrexham Council, accused the Tory Government at Westminster of short-changing people in the area and failing to match the Welsh Government’s ambitions to improve the station. She said: “In 2017 our MP Susan Elan Jones presented a petition to Parliament on behalf of the Friends of Ruabon urging action from the UK Government.

This collection consists of material received from a Wrexham solicitor, relating to his personal and business affairs, and to some of his clients. The bulk of S.P.Bevon's personal papers consist of correspondence about properties he owned in Wrexham, and reports and prospectuses of various mining and plantation concerns abroad, in which he owned shares. There is no autobiographical material. The rest of the collection has been sorted into sequence by parish, with separate sections for court cases and election papers, as there is no large quantity of material relating to an individual client. Perhaps the most interesting item is a photograph showing the range of products made by Ewloe Potteries, Buckley, in the 1920s. Other interesting subjects include Ffos-y-go Colliery, Gwersyllt, 1901-4; the appointment of a receiver for the New Llangollen Slate and Slab Company. 1898-1903; prospectus of Broughton Hall Iron Company, c.1890; complaints about conditions at Croesnewydd Military Hospital, Wrexham, 1917; and a dispute over building costs of a new church at Brynteg, 1894-5.

  • 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.
