Welsh Government

The Welsh Government should put in place a series of mechanisms that better monitor the outcomes delivered by a planning system aligned with the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015 – along with the resources to realise those outcomes.

The Welsh Government has made an informal call for evidence to support a new Technical Advice Note (TAN) that, for the first time, will cover not only air quality but soundscape and noise too.

Plans for an onshore wind farm comprising up to 22 turbines have been announced by energy firm EDF Renewables (EDF R) for what would be a Development of National Significance in Wales.

A consultation has been published on proposals to dispense with the need for planning permission to erect sheds or glasshouses on allotment sites in Wales.
