Will the Cabinet Secretary confirm if businesses surrounding the Llandow Site Serv recycling facility will be specifically included in any future fire action plan and, if so, indicate which businesses?
Once the situation is under control, Natural Resources Wales working in conjunction with the Fire & Rescue Service and Vale of Glamorgan will undertake a full review of the incident and assess whether any further actions are needed to address the risks posed by the operation. This will include consideration of any compliance or enforcement actions required and whether the Permit and Operator's management system is fit for purpose. Assessing the risk of fire at this site, and the potential effects of such a fire on neighbouring premises, is a matter for the South Wales Fire and Rescue Authority.
There are no specific legal requirements to liaise with other businesses either in the Fire Prevention Plan for the Environmental Permit or within the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order. Nevertheless, Fire Prevention Mitigation Plans have a requirement which ensure any nearby sensitive receptors are considered should an incident occur. These will include schools, hospitals, residential areas, workplaces, protected habitats, watercourses, roads etc.
The Fire Prevention Mitigation Plan in place at Siteserv Recycling (SW) Ltd identifies the neighbouring Llandow Caravan Park, South Wales Carting Centre and Bryn Sych Farm as potential receptors.
