Strategic Resource Areas for Marine Planning
Welsh Government would welcome any views on the draft Marine Planning Notice (MPN) for tidal stream energy, in particular on the following questions. Please provide evidence to support your answer.
Question 1: Do you agree with the proposal to introduce Strategic Resource Areas (SRAs) for tidal stream energy?
Question 2: Do you agree with the spatial constraints which have been applied in the identification of proposed tidal stream energy SRAs?
Question 3: Do you agree with the proposed boundaries of the tidal stream energy SRAs?
Question 4: Do you know of any additional spatial evidence that should be made available on the Wales Marine Planning Portal to help users understand relevant constraints and opportunities for each SRA?
Question 5: Do you consider that potential SRAs should be developed and brought forward for consultation for further sectors?
Question 6: Do you have any comments on the findings of the Sustainability Appraisal on SRA mapping?
