It was answered by George Eustice (Conservative) on Thursday, 17 May 2018 on behalf of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.
Hinkley Point C Power Station
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether (a) he, (b) Ministers and (c) officials of his Department have discussed the relocation of sediment from the Hinkley C project site to Cardiff Grounds with (a) the Welsh Government, (b) EDF and (c) Natural Resources Wales.
- Answer
-
Implementation of the marine licensing regime in England is a function delegated to the Marine Management Organisation (MMO).
The MMO has not engaged in any recent discussions with the Welsh Government, EDF or NRW specifically regarding the relocation of sediment from the Hinkley Point C project to the Cardiff Grounds disposal site. The disposal of sediment at this site is regulated by Natural Resources Wales (NRW). I can confirm however that the Countryside Council for Wales (NRW’s predecessor) and the Welsh Government were consulted on the original marine licence application(s) for Hinkley Point C in 2012.
