In taking the decision to grant development consent for the Swansea Bay Tidal Lagoon in June 2015, my right hon. Friend the then Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change considered and reviewed the environmental impact assessment for the project. The Secretary of State's consideration was informed by the Planning Inspectorate`s Report on the application for development consent and other relevant information, including environmental information provided by the developer and other parties.
