“Gwynedd Archaeological Planning Service is the regional curatorial service responsible for advising on development and the historic environment in north-west Wales, and is a non-statutory consultee. We advise the local planning authorities of Gwynedd, Conwy, Anglesey and Snowdonia National Park. We also comment on applications affecting Registered Historic Landscapes on behalf of NRW. I have been part of the Expert Technical Group (ETG) meetings for Archaeology (Onshore and Offshore) and Seascape, Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment (SLVIA) and Cultural Heritage from the outset. No onshore works fall within our advisory region, therefore my representation will relate primarily to setting impacts. My advice to date has contributed to the respective local authority responses rather than being a separate submission. It is not yet confirmed whether this will be the case for the examination or whether we will be responding separately. I wish to register as an Interested Party to ensure I remain informed as to the progress of the application as well as to allow for the possibility of a separate response.”
