Project-wide Development Consent Order Executive Summary Introduction This document is the Design and Access Statement (‘DAS’) summary submitted in support of the development consent application for the Wylfa Newydd DCO Project (the ‘DCO Project’). The DCO Project will be located on the Isle of Anglesey, which is situated off the north- west coast of Wales, separated from Bangor on the mainland by the Menai Strait. The DCO Project comprises: Power Station; Marine Works; other on-site development; Off-Site Power Station Facilities; Associated Development: - Site Campus; - Park and Ride facility at Dalar Hir; - Logistics Centre at Parc Cybi; - A5025 Off-line Highway Improvements; and - compensatory wetland habitat creation and enhancement works at Tŷ Du, Cors Gwawr and Cae Canol-dydd. A more detailed description of the DCO Project is set out in this Volume and the locations of DCO Project sites are shown on Figure 0-1. The DAS seeks to clearly communicate the process undertaken to demonstrate that both design quality and inclusive access have been given sufficient consideration in the planning process
