Question
What assessment has the Minister made of the environmental impact of the proposed new cancer treatment centre at Nevill Hall Hospital, and will the rules concerning phosphate pollution will have any impact on the new development?
Answer
Answered by Minister for Climate Change
We expect Velindre University NHS Trust and Aneurin Bevan University Health Board to fully consider environmental impacts as they bring forward proposals for a satellite radiotherapy centre, including in respect of phosphate pollution.
Monmouthshire Council, as local planning authority, would be the competent authority for considering planning applications for development at Nevill Hall, within the requirements of the Habitat Regulations. It should therefore be engaged in discussions with the NHS as the design of a facility progresses.
