This report has been prepared to meet the requirement to undertake Habitats Regulations Assessment (HRA) in accordance with Part iVA the Conservation (Natural Habitats, & c.) (Amendment) (England and Wales) Regulations 20041. It considers the likelihood of the policies and statements contained within the Welsh Spatial Plan Update (WSPU) to have significant adverse effects either alone, or in combination upon European sites designated under the EC Birds and Habitats Directives2 as well as sites designated under the Ramsar Convention3. The likelihood for significant adverse effects has been considered based on the Final Wales Spatial Plan Update sent for approval to the National Assembly for Wales on 8th July. Thus changes made since that date may give rise to iteration and amendments to this Habitat Regulations Assessment Report. The policy context for performing Habitat Regulations Assessment (HRA) is partly set by European Case Law and partly by Regulations and guidance. Currently, guidance on the Habitats Regulations Assessment is subject to consultation4. Annex 3 of this draft guidance offers a perspective on the application of the regulations to plans and projects likely to affect European or Ramsar sites. This was superseded by the consultation on the Habitats Regulation Assessment issued in October 2006. In conducting this HRA, it is necessary to recognise that the WSPU does not generally identify specific locations for specific projects although it does suggest areas for interventions or development themes that could, in some circumstances, give rise to effects on European sites (either alone or in combination with other plans and projects). The screening process considered whether there was sufficient information to identify which site or sites could be at risk of suffering significant effects as a result of a particular action or statement. Generally, it proved not to be possible, given the WSPU statements, to infer a link with a European site(s) since the detailed planning and development considerations were to be 1 As amended by the Conservation (Natural Habitats &c) (Amendment) (England and Wales) Regulations 2007. 2 Council Directive of April 2, 1979 on the conservation of wild birds (79/409/EEC) and Council Directive of May 21 1992 on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora (92/43/EEC) 3 Convention on wetlands of international importance especially as waterfowl habitat, Ramsar, Iran, 2 February 1971 as amended by the Paris Protocol 3 December 1992 and the Regina amendments adopted by extraordinary conference of contracting parties at Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada between 28 May and 3 June 1987. 4 Welsh Assembly Government, Consultation on Draft Revised Technical Advice Note 5, Nature Conservation and Planning, January 2006 WSP Habitats Regulations Assessment Report i June 2008 made at a lower tier planning and consenting level. Thus, the screening phase of the HRA had to consider whether the proposal could theoretically have a significant effect on 84 European or Ramsar sites (alone or in combination with other plans and projects). Where a theoretical risk of potential effects was considered to be present, the policy team confirmed whether any further detail supporting the policy or statement was available to inform an appropriate assessment. Given that the WSPU sets the framework for lower tier plans, in no case was further such relevant information available within the WSPU. It was therefore considered appropriate to carry out an Appropriate Assessment on the basis of the information available, but to highlight related lower-tier plans which would be required to complete a more detailed assessment of their effects at a future date.

  • Inquiry Into Ports in Wales Introduction I Am Jim O
    Response to Welsh Affairs Committee- Inquiry into Ports in Wales Introduction I am Jim O’Toole, Managing Director of The Port of Mostyn Ltd in Flintshire. I am a Deputy Lieutenant to the Clwyd Lieutenancy and a past Chairman of the North Wales CBI which I represented on the North Wales Economic Forum. I am also a member of the Bank of England Advisory Panel for North Wales, and also represent Welsh ports and industrial interests on the Dee estuary relating to the Water Framework Directive. I have more than 50 years experience in the shipping and ports industries. Regulatory Regime Ports is a reserved matter and current U.K. policy is contained in the document “Modern Ports” – a U.K. Policy – Nov. 2000. The Welsh Assembly Government ‘s parallel policies on ports are contained mainly in two policy documents: “The Wales Freight Strategy” - May 2008 and “Wales Transport Strategy” - April 2008. Neither of the Welsh documents contain what could be regarded as firm policies for Welsh port development, indeed the Transport Strategy document makes no more than a passing reference to ports and sea transport. The Wales Freight Strategy document provides an overview of the Welsh ports sector and contains 10 policy statements. However, scrutiny of the policy statements shows they are little more than intentions to “continue to review” and to “continue to monitor” various strategies for potential port development. I am therefore not convinced that the Welsh Assembly Government fully appreciates the importance of ports to the Welsh economy, hence its lack of firm policies which the industry can rely upon when considering development plans.
