The Government is currently considering the recommendations set out in the Hendry Review, including its assessment of site location for tidal lagoons. The proposed Swansea Bay project is the only project which has received a Development Consent Order. The Hendry Review considers other possible sites; none of these have entered the planning process.

A Government response to the Hendry Review will be published in due course.
