The South Hook Combined Heat and Power Plant Order 2014

Local Liaison Committee

15.—(1) No authorised development shall commence until the undertaker has established a committee to liaise with local residents and organisations about matters relating to the authorised development (a “local liaison committee”) which may, at the discretion of the undertaker, be combined with the functions and activities of the existing community liaison committee that is in operation for the activities of the South Hook LNG Terminal that is co-located at or near the site. The local liaison committee must be made up of representatives of the undertaker and main contractors for the authorised development. The undertaker must invite the relevant planning authorities, Natural Resources Wales, local councils and other relevant interest groups, as may be agreed with the relevant planning authority, to nominate representatives to join the local liaison committee. The undertaker must provide a full secretariat service and supply an appropriate venue. The local liaison committee must meet at least once every 3 months during the construction of the authorised development and at least once a year during the operation of the authorised development, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the majority of the members of the local liaison committee.

(2) Except in an emergency, the undertaker must give 2 working days’ prior written notice to the local liaison committee and the relevant planning authorities in advance of carrying out steam purging. Notification of the activity, the reasons for the activity and its expected duration must also be posted on the undertaker’s internet web site. So far as reasonably practicable, steam purging must be commenced so as to predominantly take place between Mondays and Saturdays and not commence nor, so far as is reasonably practicable, continue on any Sunday or public holiday in Wales.
