Bil Seilwaith (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Okay. [Laughter.]
25 Medi 2023 , Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee
Bil Seilwaith (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
That's a good idea. We'll make sure that we don't overstep the mark here and stray into the Counsel General's territory. But there might be a way that we can frame it to you. If we do do any follow-up, it'll be rapidly after this meeting because of the need…

Bil Seilwaith (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Yes, absolutely.

Bil Seilwaith (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Okay. Thank you. Alun.
25 Medi 2023 , Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee
Bil Seilwaith (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
I know. [Laughter.] Sometimes, it is difficult, I know. But we'll make sure that it's brought to their attention as well. Okay, that's helpful. Thank you. But clear that those consents will not necessarily derail this—well, clearly, from what you are saying…
25 Medi 2023 , Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee
Bil Seilwaith (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
That's fine. I'm sure they'll take note of that.

Bil Seilwaith (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
That's great. And I assume that the correspondence you're referring to is the correspondence with the CCEI committee rather than ours.
25 Medi 2023 , Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee
Bil Seilwaith (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
That's interesting. Okay, if I could turn to that, then, because you have shared with us your correspondence with the UK Government, including the seeking of necessary UK ministerial consents, which you've just said would be helpful, but don't derail the Bill…

Bil Seilwaith (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
In which case we'll move now to item No. 2, the first substantive item on today's agenda, and it is the evidence session on the Infrastructure (Wales) Bill, and we're delighted to have with us Julie James, the Minister for Climate Change, but also with Julie…

Bil Seilwaith (Cymru) - Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda grwpiau cymunedol a’r Sefydliad Cynllunio Trefol Brenhinol yng Nghymru
Yes, there is, and currently, under the current situation, they can be called in, of course, because there are other significant considerations that make it 'significant'. [Laughter.]

Bil Seilwaith (Cymru) - Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda grwpiau cymunedol a’r Sefydliad Cynllunio Trefol Brenhinol yng Nghymru
Okay, thank you. And I note your comments that this is not a technology area you're expert in, but what I was pushing at was this issue of where there are things that don't, in terms of megawatt capacity, fall within national—. It's not like a nuclear power…

Bil Seilwaith (Cymru) - Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda grwpiau cymunedol a’r Sefydliad Cynllunio Trefol Brenhinol yng Nghymru
Thank you, Chair. Do you have any other thoughts you want to share with us on significant infrastructure categories? Maybe I can probe a little bit on the issue of both hydrogen and energy storage, neither of which may be on any grand scale in a particular…

Bil Seilwaith (Cymru) - Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda grwpiau cymunedol a’r Sefydliad Cynllunio Trefol Brenhinol yng Nghymru
If there were a duty to engage, that's an interesting departure, but then it's a duty to engage with whom? Because as you rightly say, most people have more sense than to spend their whole time, as I famously do, reading things like LDP plans and so on. But…

Bil Seilwaith (Cymru) - Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda grwpiau cymunedol a’r Sefydliad Cynllunio Trefol Brenhinol yng Nghymru
That's really interesting. Just finally, then, on this community consultation and the powers that are within the Bill for the Welsh Ministers to make significant additional provision within secondary legislation. Doesn't this make it harder for people to…

Bil Seilwaith (Cymru) - Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda grwpiau cymunedol a’r Sefydliad Cynllunio Trefol Brenhinol yng Nghymru
That's really interesting. Many of these will be projects of significant scale, and developers will constantly say, 'We've still got to protect our margins' and so on. Can I just bounce that to James? Because that's fascinating. It's not necessarily to the…

Bil Seilwaith (Cymru) - Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda grwpiau cymunedol a’r Sefydliad Cynllunio Trefol Brenhinol yng Nghymru
Okay. Well, any further thoughts you have on how we can front-load that and get that quality of engagement early on would be really good, subsequent, perhaps in writing. Can I just ask, are there any lessons we can learn from England on this at all in what…

Bil Seilwaith (Cymru) - Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda grwpiau cymunedol a’r Sefydliad Cynllunio Trefol Brenhinol yng Nghymru
Thank you, Chair. James, can I just tease out what you said about the—? You mentioned in your evidence the frustrations felt by communities, but isn't the hard reality here that if you have a development, whichever way you define it, that is nationally…

Bil Seilwaith (Cymru) - Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru a’r Comisiwn Seilwaith Cenedlaethol i Gymru
That's really helpful, David, thank you very much. Can I just come to NRW for any thoughts they have on this? So, not just the discretion of the Minister, but definitions and thresholds as well, and maybe how this plays out in the marine environment as well.
20 Medi 2023 , Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Bil Seilwaith (Cymru) - Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru a’r Comisiwn Seilwaith Cenedlaethol i Gymru
It might be helpful if Ministers, when they come in front of us, could provide some examples, or actually lay that down in writing somewhere during the process of this Bill, to give examples of how they would reach decisions and where they would put that…

Bil Seilwaith (Cymru) - Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru a’r Comisiwn Seilwaith Cenedlaethol i Gymru
Thank you. Just following up on Janet's question, I'll try and bring my questions just into one question. Issues have been raised with us over the clarity of definitions, of what is an SIP. Issues have been raised over the discretion available to…
