Next steps

The planning process 

The Point of Ayr (PoA) Cable Route Foreshore Works Proposed Development (“the Proposed Development”) is currently in its pre-planning application phase.

Project stage

This is our statutory Pre-Application Consultation (PAC), in accordance with the Planning (Wales) Act 2015, where we are providing information and draft planning application documents, and asking for feedback. This feedback is important to us and will help finalise our planning application.

What happens next

The Proposed Development lies within the Local Authority boundary of Flintshire County Council (FCC). To secure consent to build the Proposed Development, Liverpool Bay CCS Limited (LBCCS), a member of the Eni SpA group (the Applicant), is preparing a planning application to be submitted under the Town and Country Planning Act (TCPA) 1990 (as amended) to FCC in August 2025.

Post-submission stage

Once the application has been submitted to FCC, you will have another opportunity to have your say by providing comments on the application, which you can submit directly to the Council.
