Planning update
SAE welcomed the report by Newport City Council ("NCC") planning
officers regarding the Group's planning application for the
February Planning Committee meeting and their recommendation that
planning permission be granted with conditions. The "Proposed
Development" in this planning application comprises fuel storage,
material handling and other ancillary infrastructure to be
constructed external to the existing power station building.
We note however that a third party has requested the planning
application be "called in" for determination by Welsh Government
rather than the local planning authority, NCC .
Following on from this third-party request, the Welsh Government
has followed due process and issued a holding direction while it
considers if this call-in is justified. Welsh Government will aim
to decide whether to reject or uphold the call-in request within 21
days of receipt of the planning officers' report. The Welsh
Government generally only call in an application if the Proposed
Development appears to raise planning issues of more than local
importance.
The question of call-in is solely about who should be the
decision maker on an application for planning permission - the
Welsh Government or the local planning authority - and not whether
planning permission should be granted or not.
Welsh Government will review the planning issues raised by the
application and assess how they have been addressed by the local
planning authority. In this way they can reach a conclusion on
whether the application raises planning issues that they feel are
more appropriately dealt with by the local authority. There are two
possible outcomes:
The call-in request is rejected - t he planning application
would then revert to back to the local planning authority to
determine. In this scenario SAE will work with the Planning Officer
to confirm that our planning application can be presented to the
Planning Committee at the earliest opportunity.
The call-in request is accepted - t he planning application
would be passed to the Welsh Government to take the decision.
SAE will provide an update to the market once it has been
informed of the result of the call-in decision.
