The proposed DCO will also seek various other powers including provisions permitting the compulsory acquisition of interests and rights in land, the temporary use of land, interference with rights and the closure or diversion of streets and other public rights of way including the permanent closure of Cemlyn Road.

8. The proposed development is “EIA development” for the purposes of the Infrastructure Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations 2009.
