“The RCAHMW is a statutory consultee for marine licensing in Wales, and as such has an interest and role to play in the PINS process and associated Welsh Marine License. We have been consulted on the MONA project from its inception and are happy to say that our views have been noted on and acted on with regard to potential impact of the project on marine archaeology. As such, we are content that the ES and supporting technical documentation is suitable to take forward, and would note that it represents an enhancement of our knowledge of a number of marine archaeological sites in the offshore zone of the scheme. We also note the commitment by the project to archive archaeologically relevant data within the National Monuments Record of Wales, to ensure future site monitoring can always be conducted. We would note, that the ES makes reference to a draft WSI and PAD as being appended to the Offshore Archaeology Technical Report, but we could not locate either of these two documents. They will be needed for the marine license phase of the scheme.”
