Table 1: Specialist Consultees Responses

Specialist Consultee Response

Network Rail The Applicant did not receive a response from Network Rail.

Welsh Ministers The Applicant did not receive a response from Welsh Ministers.

Welsh Government The Welsh Government confirmed that they have no objection on

trunk road grounds.

The local highway authority

concerned (Neath Port Talbot

County Borough Council

Highways Authority)

Provided confirmation of no highway and drainage objections to the

proposed application.

Health and Safety Executive The Applicant did not receive a response from the Health and

Safety Executive.

Cadw Confirmed that the proposed development will not have any impact on

the scheduled monument GM291 (Llandarcy Round Cairn) or its setting

due to the intervening buildings, vegetation and natural topography.

Noted that there might be undesignated historic assets that could

be affected by the proposed development and it is advised that

consultation with the Historic Environment Record held by the

Glamorgan Gwent-Archaeological Trust should be undertaken;

and

Overall, no objections to the proposed development based on its

impacts on the scheduled monument.

Dwr Cymru Welsh Water The site is crossed by a private foul water only sewer, prior to

commencing operational development DCWW advises contacting the

owners of this asset. No foul water will be generated by development

proposals.

Advised that the applicant may need to apply to Dwr Cymru Welsh

Water for any connection to the public sewer under S106 of the Water

Industry Act 1991 if the connection to the public sewer network is

either via a lateral drain or via a new sewer because it is now a

mandatory requirement to first enter into a

Section 104 Adoption Agreement (Water Industry Act 1991).

28845/A3/TE/JA -8- June 2019


Specialist Consultee Response

The applicant is also advised that some public sewers and lateral

drains may not be recorded on DCWW maps of public sewers

because they were originally privately owned and were

transferred into public ownership by nature of the Water Industry

(Schemes for Adoption of Private Sewers) Regulations 2011. The

presence of such assets may affect the proposal.

The Coal Authority Confirmed that the proposed development site falls within the coalfield,

however, it is located outside the defined Development High Risk Area

meaning that there are no recorded coal mining legacy hazards at

shallow depth that could pose a risk to land stability.

Accordingly, there is no requirement to submit a Coal Mining Risk

Assessment in support of a planning application for the redevelopment

of this site, The Coal Authority confirmed that Neath Port Talbot County

Council will not need to consult with The Coal Authority on any planning

application for this site.

Natural Resources Wales The operation will require a permit from NRW. It is encouraged that

the permit application runs parallel with the DNS Application.

No adverse comments relating to noise which will be c onsidered under

the environmental permit application.

Identified sensitive receptors (European and UK protected sites) within

2km of the site, which were correctly identified in December 2018

produced by AECOM, however, NRW consider that any effect on the

identified sites is unlikely as the air quality impact assessment report

shows the emission levels from the development to be low.

NRW stated that a HRA document is required to aid the competent

authority in assessing the application under Regulation 61 of the

Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2010 (as

amended).

NRW confirms that additional landscaping for the purposes of visual

amenity is not required for the application.

Land to the Rear of Unit 6A Coed Darcy Business Park, Llandarcy, Neath Port Talbot.

Peak Gen Power 5 Limited is preparing a planning application at land to the rear of Unit 6A Coed Darcy Business Park, Llandarcy, Neath Port Talbot for the following development:

“Part retrospective application for an existing electricity generation operatingreserve compound to supportthe National Gridcomprising10 no.generatingcontainers,togetherwithassociated switchgear, site access, boundary treatments and ancillary plant and equipment with proposed installation ofadditionalancillaryplant andequipmentincludingthe installation of Selective Catalytic Reduction units.”

Planning permission was granted on 21st January 2013 (Application Reference No. P2012/1061) for a 20MW electricity generation facility at the site. The planning permission has been implemented and the facility has been built and operated since 2013. However, certain pre-commencement planning conditions werenotsatisfied andfollowing the introduction ofnew legislation the facility nowqualifies asa Developmentof National Significance, which meansthatanewplanning application is required underthenew legislation to regularise theposition. Inaddition, Peak Genare seeking permission to install exhaust gas treatment to the generating units in order to comply with tighter emissions targets effective from January 2019 under the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) (Amendment) Regulations 2018.

We are seeking your views on the development and have made the contents of the draft planning application available electronically via this webpage for public consultation. A copy of the formal Site Notice can be found here.

Peak Gen Power 5 Limited has instructed ateamofconsultants toundertake detailed technical surveys and assessments to support the planning application. This team includes Barton Willmore and AECOM.

Development Summary

The development is a 20-megawatt electricity generation facility providing electricity to meet consumer requirements at periods of peak electricity demand when there is insufficient electricity available to the National Grid from the UK's base load power stations. The facility is designed tomeetthe requirements of National Grid's contracts and sits in standby/idle mode ready to operate when called on by the National Grid to do so being fully operational and generating electricity in less than 5 minutes. Typically, the plant operatesforperiods ofnotmorethanthirty minutesatatimetotalling 500 hours or less in a year.

The application site is located within the Coed Darcy Strategic Regeneration Area (SRA) allocated by way of Policy SRA1 of the Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council Local Development Plan. It lies within thecommercial area ofthe SRA. Thesite, therefore, is located within a wholly industrial complex and the surrounding land is characterised by industrial buildings andcommercial storage. It is considered thatthenature, scaleand location ofthedevelopmentdonotconflict with theaimsofthe SRA.

point to the local electricity grid with available land zoned in planning policy terms as suitable for this type of use.

National Planning Policy (as set out in PPW Paragraph 5.7.13) supports development of this natureas it helps providevital exibility tosupportan increasing amountoflow carbon generation and to maintain security of supply. is type of development is essential supporting infrastructure which is needed to support the National Grid and continuous supplyofelectricity is essential fortheeconomyandsocietyasawhole.

As the scheme comprises an electricity generating station with an installed generating capacity ofbetween 10 and 50 MW,it falls within thede nition ofa‘Development of National Signi cance’ (DNS) under section 4 of the Developments of National

Signi cance (Speci ed Criteria and Prescribed Secondary Consents) (Wales) Regulations 2016, for thepurposes ofs62(D) ofthe Planning (Wales)Act 2015 ("the WalesAct"). is application is therefore madetothe Welsh Ministers seeking planning permission for development carried outbeforethedate oftheapplication without compliance with some conditions subject to which planning permission was granted.

e facility will additionally be operated under an environmental permit from Natural Resources Wales(NRW). e permit will ensure that the site is operated and monitored in a way that meets the environmental criteria set out in legislation and re uired by NRW.

RE: LAND TO THE REAR OF UNIT 6A COED DARCY BUSINESS PARK, LLANDARCY, NEATH PORT

TALBOT

As an adjoining landowner, I am writing to you today to notify you that PeakGen Power 5 Limited is preparing

a planning application at land to the rear of Unit 6A Coed Darcy Business Park, Llandarcy, Neath Port Talbot. The description of the proposed development is as follows:

“Part retrospective application for an existing electricity generation operating reserve compound to support the National Grid comprising 10 no.x 2 megawatt generating containers, together with associated switchgear, site access, boundary treatments and ancillary plant and equipment with proposed installation of additional ancillary plant and equipment including the installation of Selective Catalytic Reduction units”.

By way of background, planning permission was granted on the 21 st of January 2012 (Application

Reference Number: P2012/1061) for a 20MW electricity generation facility. The planning permission has

been implemented and the facility has been built and operated subsequently. However, certain pre- commencement planning conditions were not satisfied and following the introduction of new legislation

the facility now qualifies as a Development of National Significance, which means that a new planning application is required under the new legislation to regularise the position. I n addition, Peak Gen are

seeking permission to install exhaust gas treatment to the generating units in order to comply with tighter emissions targets effective from January 2019 under the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales)

(Amendment) Regulation s 2018.

We are seeking your views on the development and have made the contents of the draft planning application available electronically at http://www.peakgenllandarcy.co.uk

Development Summary

The development is a 20-megawatt electricity generation facility providing electricity to meet consumer requirements at periods of peak electricity demand when there is insufficient electricity available to the

National Grid from the UK's base load power stations. The fa cility is designed to meet the requirements of National Grid's contracts and sits in standby/idle mode ready to operate when called on by the National

Grid to do so being fully operational and generating electricity in less than 5 minutes. Typically, the plant

operates for periods of not more than thirty minutes at a time totalling 500 hours or less in a year.


28845/A3/JA/nfi/lb -2- 5th April 2019

The application site is located within the Coed Darcy Strategic Regeneration Area (SRA) allocated by way

of Policy SRA1 of the Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council Local Development Plan. It lies within the commercial area of the SRA. The site, therefore, is located within a wholly industrial complex and the

surrounding land is characterised by industrial buildings and commercial storage. It is considered that the nature, scale and location of the development do not conflict with the aims of the SRA. The reason why

the facility is located where it is has been dictated by the availability of a suitable connection point to the

local electricity grid with available land zoned in planning policy terms as suitable for this type of use.

National Planning Policy (as set out in PPW Paragraph 5.7.13) supports development of this nature as it

helps provide vital flexibility to support an increasing amount of low carbon generation and to maintain

security of supply. This type of development is essential supporting infrastructure which is needed to support the National Grid and continuous supply of electricity is essential for the economy and society as

a whole.

As the scheme comprises an electricity generating station with an installed generating capacity of between 10 and 50 MW, it falls within the definition of a ‘Development of National Significance’ (DNS) under section

4 of the Developments of National Significance (Specified Criteria and Prescribed Secondary Consents) (Wales) Regulations 2016, for the purposes of s62(D) of the Planning (Wales) Act 2015 ("the Wales

Act"). This application is therefore made to the Welsh Ministers seeking planning permission for

development carried out before the date of the application without compliance with some conditions subject to which planning permission was granted.

The facility will additionally be operated under an environmental permit from Natural Resources Wales (NRW). The permit will ensure that the site is operated and monitored in a way that meets the environmental criteria

set out in legislation and required by NRW.

Pre-Planning Application – Part retrospective application for an existing electricity operation generation reserve compound to support the National Grid, comprising 10 no. x 2 megawatt generating containers, together with associated switchgear, site access, boundary treatment and ancillary plant and equipment, with proposed installation of additional ancillary plant and equipment, including the installation of Selective Catalytic Reduction units, Land to the rear of Unit 6A Coed Darcy Business Park, Llandarcy, Neath Port Talbot

Thank you for your letter of 21 March 2019 inviting our comments on the pre-planning application consultation for the proposed development described above.

Advice

The following comments are based on information made available to us as part of the pre-application consultation and we will review our comments when we are consulted on the final planning application.

Having carefully considered the information provided with this planning application, we have no objections to the impact of the proposed development on the scheduled monument.

Our role

Our statutory role in the planning process is to provide the local planning authority with an assessment concerned with the likely impact that the proposal will have on scheduled monuments, registered historic parks and gardens, registered historic landscapes where an Environmental Impact Assessment is required and development likely to have an impact on the outstanding universal value of a World Heritage Site. We do not provide an assessment of the likely impact of the development on listed buildings or conservation areas, as these are matters for the local authority. It is for the local planning authority to weigh our assessment against all the other material considerations in determining whether to approve planning permission.

National Policy

Applications for planning permission are considered in light of the Welsh Government’s land use planning policy and guidance contained in Planning Policy Wales (PPW), Technical Advice Notes and related guidance.

PPW (Chapter 6 – The Historic Environment) explains that it is important that the planning system looks to protect, conserve and enhance the significance of historic assets. This will include consideration of the setting of an historic asset which might extend beyond its curtilage. Any change that impacts on an historic asset or its setting should be managed in a sensitive and sustainable way.

The conservation of archaeological remains and their settings is a material consideration in determining a planning application, whether those remains are a scheduled monument or not. Where nationally important archaeological remains are likely to be affected by proposed development, there should be a presumption in favour of their physical protection in situ. It will only be in exceptional circumstances that planning permission will be granted if development would result in a direct adverse impact on a scheduled monument (or an archaeological site shown to be of national importance).

Technical Advice Note 24: The Historic Environment elaborates by explaining that when considering development proposals that affect scheduled monuments or other nationally important archaeological remains, there should be a presumption in favour of their physical preservation in situ, i.e. a presumption against proposals which would involve significant alteration or cause damage, or would have a significant adverse impact causing harm within the setting of the remains.

Assessment

Scheduled monument Llandarcy Round Cairn (GM291) is located within a 1km buffer of the application area, but due to intervening buildings, vegetation and natural topography, the application area is not inter-visible with the scheduled monument. Therefore, the proposed development will have no impact on the scheduled monument GM291or its setting.

Finally, there may also be undesignated historic assets that could be affected by the proposed development and, if you have not already done so, we would advise that you consult the Historic Environment Record held by the Glamorgan-Gwent Archaeological Trust (www.ggat.org.uk).

Yours sincerely,

Dear Mr Lewis,

Site Address: Rear of Unit 6A Coed Darcy Business Park, Llandarcy, Neath Development: Part retrospective application for an existing electricity generation operating reserve compound to support National Grid

I refer to the Schedule 1C - Article 2D notice received and your formal request for a pre-application

consultation response before applying for planning permission from Dwr Cymru Welsh Water as a

‘Specialist Consultee’ as defined by Paragraph (y) of Schedule 4 of the Town & Country Planning

(Development Management Procedure) (Wales) (Amendment) Order 2016. It is acknowledged that the

consultation request relates to a major development site and thus seeks a substantive response within 28

days from the date of the notice, 22rd of March 2019, as per the requirements of Article 2E. This request

includes our views on the capacity of our network of assets and infrastructure to accommodate your

proposed development.

Having reviewed the details submitted I would advise there is no objection to the proposed development

and offer the following standing advice which should be taken into account within any future planning

application for the development:

SEWERAGE

We note that no foul water will be generated by development proposals.

The site is crossed by a private foul water only sewer, prior to commencing operational development we

would advise contacting the owners of this asset.

Welsh Water is owned by Glas Cymru – a ‘not-for-profit’ company.

Mae Dŵr Cymru yn eiddo i Glas Cymru – cwmni ‘nid-er-elw’.

We welcome correspondence in Welsh and English

Advisory Notes

The applicant may need to apply to Dwr Cymru / Welsh Water for any connection to the public sewer under

S106 of the Water industry Act 1991. If the connection to the public sewer network is either via a lateral

drain (i.e. a drain which extends beyond the connecting property boundary) or via a new sewer (i.e. serves

more than one property), it is now a mandatory requirement to first enter into a Section 104 Adoption

Agreement (Water Industry Act 1991). The design of the sewers and lateral drains must also conform to the

Welsh Ministers Standards for Gravity Foul Sewers and Lateral Drains, and conform with the publication

"Sewers for Adoption"- 7th Edition. Further information can be obtained via the Developer Services pages

of www.dwrcymru.com

The applicant is also advised that some public sewers and lateral drains may not be recorded on our maps

of public sewers because they were originally privately owned and were transferred into public ownership

by nature of the Water Industry (Schemes for Adoption of Private Sewers) Regulations 2011. The presence

of such assets may affect the proposal. In order to assist us in dealing with the proposal the applicant may

contact Dwr Cymru Welsh Water to establish the location and status of the apparatus. Under the Water

Industry Act 1991 Dwr Cymru Welsh Water has rights of access to its apparatus at all times.

Please note that our response is based on the information provided in your enquiry and should the information change we reserve the right to make a new representation. Should you have any queries or wish to discuss any aspect of our response please do not hesitate to contact our dedicated team of planning officers, either on 0800 917 2652 or via email at [email protected]

Please quote our reference number in all communications and correspondence.

Yours faithfully,

Owain George Planning Liaison Manager Developer Services

Please Note that demands upon the water and sewerage systems change continually; consequently the

information given above should be regarded as reliable for a maximum period of 12 months from the date of this

letter.

Schedule 1C Article 2D - Consultation before applying for planning permission

Land to the rear of Unit 6A Coed Darcy Business Park, Llandarcy, Neath Port Talbot

Thank you for your notification of 21 March 2019 seeking the pre-application views of the Coal Authority

on the above.

I have checked the site location plan (Drawing No. 9000 Rev A) against our coal mining information and

can confirm that, whilst the proposed development site falls within the coalfield, it is located outside the

defined Development High Risk Area meaning that there are no recorded coal mining legacy hazards at

shallow depth that could pose a risk to land stability.

Accordingly, there is no requirement to submit a Coal Mining Risk Assessment in support of a planning

application for the redevelopment of this site. The Local Planning Authority will not consult the Coal

Authority on any planning application for this site.

Yours sincerely
