The proposals are not anticipated to have any adverse effects on the Welsh language. The redevelopment of the former Aberthaw Power Station as a Green Energy, Innovation and Employment Park would support regional economic growth, investment and job creation within the Vale of Glamorgan and the wider Cardiff Capital Region. By creating high-quality employment opportunities, the proposals may help support local communities and contribute positively to the retention and attraction of a skilled workforce within the area. The development would therefore be broadly consistent with the objectives of supporting sustainable communities across the region.
CCR Energy welcomes the inclusion of the Cardiff Capital Region City Deal and the CCR Regional Economic and Industrial Plan within the Regional Context of the RLDP. The reference to CCR’s acquisition of the former Aberthaw Power Station site to enable its demolition, remediation and redevelopment as a Green Energy Park highlights the site’s regional significance and role in supporting growth in the green economy. This aligns with the Draft Regional Transport Plan, which identifies opportunities to investigate additional rail infrastructure and freight and passenger services at Aberthaw to maximise connectivity between road, rail, air and maritime networks.
