In relation to WAQ78277, will the Minister confirm whether it was the responsibility of the local authority or Natural Resources Wales to ensure that the application was subject to an environmental impact assessment and/or an environmental statement?

Whether planning applications should be subject to environmental impact assessment is, in the first instance, a matter for the body determining the application. Natural Resources Wales do not determine planning applications.
