Planning Act 2008
The Planning Act 2008 is an Acts of Parliament in the United Kingdom, Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom intended to speed up the process for approving major new infrastructure projects such as airports, roads, harbors, and energy facilities such as nuclear power and waste facilities. This was felt to be necessary after the 8-year approval process for Heathrow Terminal 5. Along with the Climate Change Act 2008, Climate Change Bill and the Energy Bill, this bill was considered by the Brown administration to be one of the "three legislative pillars of the Government's strategy to secure long-term prosperity and quality of life for all."

Tidal Lagoon Swansea Bay
Tidal Lagoon Swansea Bay was a proposed tidal lagoon power plant that was to be constructed in Swansea Bay off the south coast of Wales, United Kingdom. Development consent was granted by the UK government in June 2015, and in June 2018 the Welsh Government approved the plan and offered to invest £200 million; however, later that month the UK government withdrew its support on value-for-money grounds. Other options to enable the proposal to go ahead were reportedly still being explored. If built, the project would have become the world's first tidal lagoon power plant; other types of tidal power plants exist. Proposal The scheme is promoted by Tidal Lagoon (Swansea Bay) plc. According to the company, generation could operate 14 hours per day with a maximum output of 320 MW (nameplate capacity), enough to power around 155,000 homes. There are different ways to evaluate tidal energy output. The UK government considered intermittency due to the tides, and concluded that the Tidal ...
