Reason for Urgency The Council Constitution states that Planning Committee have
the delegated authority to submit a Local Impact Report, agree a

for a Development Consent Order(DCO). The Council has recently been advised of
the DCO timetable for the submission of the aforementioned documents which have
provisionally been requested by 31 October 2018, which is before November
Planning Committee. As these submissions have not been
completed, Officers would not have the relevant delegated authority to
meet these timescales. An urgent decision is required to enable the Council to formally respond within the relevant timeframes if the
Examining Authority do not extend the deadline for the submission of these
documents. The Head of Planning & City Regeneration presented a report which provided an update on the APL submission for Development Consent Order for a gas fired power station at Felindre. The background details and proposals for the scheme were outlined in the report. Resolved that 1) delegated
powers be granted to officers to submit a Local Impact Report and a Statement
of Common Ground. 2) no
further written representations be provided on this proposal. |
