Part of 1. Questions to the Minister for Environment, Energy and Rural Affairs – in the Senedd at 2:06 pm on 4 March 2020.
Deputy Presiding Officer, I understand you've given your permission for questions 5 and 8 to be grouped. The Environmental Protection Act 1990 provides local authorities with the necessary powers to investigate dust complaints as a statutory nuisance. If proven, the local authority can require any responsible party to mitigate any dust nuisance identified. 'Planning Policy Wales' also provides guidance to help minimise dust impacts on communities.
