Whilst a tidal lagoon has the potential to offer significant amounts of low carbon energy, there is currently insufficient evidence to be confident that a very large scale tidal lagoon can be developed without a significant impact to the environment. Whilst legal protections for the environment provide mechanisms for projects that have large scale impacts to proceed on a public interest basis, it will be very difficult to meet the tests of such derogations in the absence of a clearer sectoral policy framework for tidal lagoon developments.

Ymatebydd: Denbighshire County Council - Planning Policy
Conwy County Borough Council (CCBC) strategy supports utilising Colcaenog Forest for wind energy and the Colwyn Bay Tidal Lagoon which it believes will assist in terms of reducing flood risk, increasing tourism, improving the labour market and delivering renewable energy. Early consultation with Denbighshire County Council is welcomed in terms of energy development so that both councils' strategies align and take account of the draft Welsh National Marine Plan and the draft National Development Framework.
