Uskmouth Planning Update
Further to the announcement dated 24 March 2021, SAE submitted a
"Statement of Case" (SOC) to the Planning Inspectorate on 21 May
2021. The SOC is a routine part of the 'call in' process and
addresses the matters raised in the 'call in' decision letter.
The Newport City Council (NCC) planning case officer previously
recommended approval of planning permission for the Uskmouth
Conversion Project. The SOC refers to the content of the planning
officer's report highlighting the following conclusion:
-- "Planning permission is NOT sought for the conversion itself
as a change in the fuel source from coal to waste derived pellets
does not require planning permission and there is no change of use
of the existing power station as its primary purpose would be
thermal combustion to generate electricity."
Additionally, the SOC confirms the following key points:
-- The Uskmouth Power Station in planning terms remains an
existing thermal combustion electricity generating station.
-- The fuel pellets are specially engineered and manufactured to
enable operations to continue at the Uskmouth power station for the
primary purpose of generating electricity. There is no direct link
between the operation of Uskmouth Power Station and the management
of mixed municipal and residual wastes.
-- From a technical planning perspective there were no
objections from statutory consultees to prevent the proposals to
bring the electricity generating power station back into
operation.
The next step in the 'call in' process is for the Planning
Inspectorate to conduct a review of the environmental statement for
the Uskmouth Conversion Project and SAE is looking forward to
feedback in due course.
