NOTICE OF APPLICATION FOR AN ORDER
Menter Mon Cyf of Llangefni Town Hall, Llangefni, Anglesey, LL77 7LR is applying to the Welsh Government under section 6 of the Transport and Works Act 1992 for the above-mentioned Order under sections 3 and 5 of that Act.
The Order would authorise the construction and operation of tidal energy devices and associated infrastructure within an offshore demonstration zone known as the Morlais Demonstration Zone (“MDZ”) which covers an area of 35 square kilometres of the Irish Sea to the west of Holy Island, Anglesey. The Order would also authorise export cables on the seabed within an export cable corridor covering an area of 4.75 square kilometres between the MDZ and a landfall site on the western coast of Holy Island known as Abraham’s Bosom.
In addition to the offshore works, the Order would also authorise onshore works to provide a grid connection with the existing electricity network infrastructure between the cable landfall site and a site to the east of Holyhead adjacent to the A55 including a proposed electricity substation at Ty-Mawr, a switchgear building at Parc Cybi, a grid connection substation at the Orthios Eco-Park and underground export cables located between those facilities generally following the minor road network along South Stack Road, Porthdafarch Road and Mill Road and then parallel to the A55 and crossing under the A55 and the Bangor to Holyhead railway line to the substation at Orthios.
In connection with the onshore works, the Order seeks to confer powers for the compulsory acquisition and use of land for the purposes of those works and for ancillary purposes.
The application is to be made subject to an environmental impact assessment. Any objections to, or other representations about, the proposals in the application should be sent to the Welsh planning Inspectorate either via email or through the post:

HYSBYSIAD CYFLWYNO CAIS AM ORCHYMYN
Mae Menter Môn Cyf, Neuadd y Dref, Llangefni, Ynys Môn, LL77 7LR am gyflwyno cais i Lywodraeth Cymru o dan Adran 6 Deddf Trafnidiaeth a Gweithfeydd 1992 am yr orchymyn a nodir uchod o dan adran 3 a 5 y Ddeddf honno.
Byddai'r Gorchymyn hwn yn awdurdodi adeiladu a gweithredu dyfeisiau ynni llanw a’r isadeiledd cysylltiedig mewn parth arddangos yn y môr o'r enw Parth Arddangos Morlais (“MDZ”). Byddai’r parth yn 35 cilomedr sgwâr ac yn ymestyn o Fôr Iwerddon i orllewin Ynys Cybi, Ynys Môn.
Hefyd, byddai'r Gorchymyn yn awdurdodi gosod ceblau allforio ar wely'r môr mewn coridor o geblau allforio. Bydd yr ardal hon yn ymestyn ar draws 4.75 cilomedr sgwâr rhwng yr MDZ a safle glanio ar arfordir gorllewinol Ynys Cybi, ardal a elwir ym Mhorth Henborth / Porth y Pum Ogof.
Ynghyd â’r gwaith yn y môr, byddai'r Gorchymyn hwn hefyd yn awdurdodi gwaith ar y tir rhwng is-orsaf drydan arfaethedig ar lan y môr ac ar safle i’r Dwyrain o Gaergybi ger yr A55, er mwyn darparu cysylltiad grid â’r isadeiledd rhwydweithiau trydan presennol, gan gynnwys adeiladu is-orsaf yn Nhŷ -Mawr, adeilad cyfnewid ym Mharc Cybi ac Is Orsaf ar safle Parc Eco Orthios gyda cheblau allforio tanddaearol rhwng y ddau yn dilyn y rhwydwaith ffyrdd ar hyd ffordd South Stack, Ffordd Porthdafarch a Ffordd y Felin ac yna yn rhedeg ym mharalel gyda’r A55 gan groesi oddi tan yr A55 a rheilffordd Bangor i Gaergybi i mewn i safle Orthios.
Mewn cysylltiad â’r gweithfeydd ar y tir, bydd y Gorchymyn hwn yn ceisio ennill pwerau i sicrhau a chaffael tir a’i ddefnyddio ar gyfer y gweithfeydd hynny ac at ddibenion ategol.
Bydd y cais yn destun asesiad effaith amgylcheddol.
