The planning permission given to the #Biomass Plant in #Cardiff is of ‘National Significance’, it’s not a decision for a local authority. If Wales is to succeed in slashing its climate emissions it needs calling in by the @WelshGovernment Planning inspectorate. @WWFCymru https://twitter.com/WWFEU/status/1359782538378686468
To be called in by @WelshGovernment Planning Inspectorate it would have to be a 10MW development, considered of ‘national significance’. The developers applied for a 9.5MW generator!? @FOECardiff @WWFEU #COP26 @WalesGreenParty @Plaid_Cymru @WelshConserv @WelshLibDems @WelshLabour https://twitter.com/nspugh/status/1359805229143842816

#Biomass developers deliberately avoiding having to seek planning from @WelshGovernment & playing on less informed @WelshLGA ‘s, I’d asked where else is this going to happen?Shouldn’t we be avoiding an accumulative effect, of carbon emissions when we can least afford it? https://twitter.com/nspugh/status/1359969894197043205

For the sake of your constituents, nature & all #futuregen @cardifflabour @cardifflibdems @PlaidCaerdydd @CardiffTories @cardiffgreens we can’t lock in these carbon emissions when we have little time to slash them.
