Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what is the expected total number of tons of waste material arising from the construction of the new Hinkley Point power station to be deposited in the Cardiff Grounds.
The amount of dredge material requested by the applicant in the marine licence application is for a maximum of 280,000 tonnes. The original figure was higher than this, however the licence holder now requires dredging from a smaller area.
