Part of 1. Questions to the Minister for Environment, Energy and Rural Affairs – in the Senedd at 1:35 pm on 4 March 2020.
Natural Resources Wales is the appropriate authority and regulator, under the the Marine Works (Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations 2007. It is for NRW to determine whether an environmental impact assessment is required. All applications for a marine licence are thoroughly and robustly assessed, to ensure proposed works do not impact the marine environment or human health.
