Respondent: Denbighshire County Council - Planning Policy

Offshore Energy, Paragraph 6.7.30 refers to the Localism Act 2011 which is misleading given that in terms of planning it only applies in England. Development Consent Orders apply only in England. Marine licences in Wales are granted by Natural Resources Wales. Consideration should be given to removing this paragraph or rewording it particularly given that Welsh Ministers now have devolved powers in terms of energy generation of 350 MW or less in Wales and in Welsh waters.

Accepted. Text will be amended to clarify.
