  • Building Offshore Wind in England CORE: Centres for Offshore Renewable Engineering
    Building Offshore Wind in England CORE: Centres for Offshore Renewable Engineering BUSINESS IS 2 Building Offshore Wind in England Ministerial Foreword Offshore wind is a UK success story and the UK is open for business. The UK is the world leader in offshore wind. We have more offshore wind installed than anywhere else in the world. We are an island nation, blessed with strong winds and shallow seas – and this energy resource is on our doorstep. We are determined to move to cleaner electricity generation and offshore wind has an important role to play in our long term plan for a balanced, low carbon energy mix. I want the UK to secure the economic benefits of this new industry. Through our offshore wind industrial strategy, the Government is committed to working in partnership with business to build a competitive, innovative UK supply chain for offshore wind, delivering jobs and economic growth. Building a strong supply chain needs the commitment and expertise of local partners, working alongside central government to support businesses who want to invest here. The Centres for Offshore Renewable Engineering (CORE) partnership offers an integrated and cooperative approach between Government and Local Enterprise Partnerships in England, to provide the best possible support to businesses choosing England as an investment location. The Rt Hon Matthew Hancock MP Minister of State for Business, Enterprise and Energy CORE brings together the relevant expertise from UK Central Government and the six major investment hubs in England to support business growth and showcase opportunities for foreign direct investment (FDI) for the offshore wind sector.

  • Redcar Draft CPO Map V2.0
    Agenda item 9a Confidential Paper 7.7 South Tees Development Corporation 25 July 2018 The Proposed South Tees Development Corporation (Land at the former Redcar steel works, Redcar) Compulsory Purchase Order Purpose 1. A key priority and responsibility of the Corporation is to secure the comprehensive regeneration of the land within its area ("the Area"). Fundamental to achieving this objective is acquiring the necessary land interests within the Area. 2. As the Board is aware, the Corporation has already entered into discussions with landowners with a view to acquiring their land interests by private negotiation. However, mindful that such negotiations may take some time and may ultimately be unsuccessful, in February 2018 the Corporation made an in-principle resolution to make a compulsory purchase order ("CPO") to acquire any land interests compulsorily should it become necessary. 3. Since February, discussions with landowners have continued in tandem with preparation of the CPO. However, whilst discussions with some landowners are progressing well, it has not yet been possible to acquire the necessary land interests by agreement. Market interest in bringing forward development across the Area is high but the Corporation is concerned that delays in securing land assembly could lead to developers looking elsewhere for land which is more readily available. 4. This paper accordingly seeks authority for the Corporation to proceed to make the CPO and to refer the CPO to Tees Valley Combined Authority ("TVCA") for consent to submit the CPO, once made, to the Secretary of State for confirmation. The extent of the land proposed to be acquired pursuant to the CPO is indicatively shown edged red on the attached map at Appendix 1 ("the Site").

  • New Waste Management Capacity Permitted in the North East Since the Urban Mines Baseline
    New Waste Management Capacity permitted in the North East since the Urban Mines Baseline Background In accordance with the Duty to Cooperate, and as part of work on our joint evidence base, the Waste Planning Authorities (WPAs) in the North East of England1 commissioned a study ‘Model of Waste Arisings and Waste Management Capacity for the North East of England Waste Planning Authorities’ (Urban Mines, July 2012) to provide forecasts of waste arisings for commercial and industrial waste and hazardous waste to 2030 using the data from the North East of England Commercial and Industrial Waste Survey 2010 and the most up-to-date hazardous waste arisings information. The Urban Mines study contains: detailed forecast arisings; capacity data; analysis and conclusions on commercial and industrial waste; analysis and conclusions on hazardous waste; details on municipal waste as so many key facilities in the North East process waste from both municipal and commercial and industrial sources; commentary on arisings of agricultural, construction and demolition and Low Level Radioactive wastes. The study carried out a capacity gap analysis by comparing forecast arisings with data on available and future capacity. This was done on a regional and sub-regional (WPA) basis. By aggregating arisings estimates for all the WPAs in North East England, the report found that total arisings amount to some 3.6 million tonnes per year. These comprise 1.48 million tonnes from municipal sources (2011 estimates) and 2.15 million from commercial and industrial sources (2011 estimates). Applying the growth methodologies explained in the report, it was estimated that these total waste arisings for North East England are anticipated to remain fairly constant over the forecast period to 2030.
