Recommendations against Hitachi's planned nuclear power plant in Anglesey were based on concerns regarding the potential dilution of the local Welsh language and culture. A comprehensive report cited significant pressures on housing and schools due to an influx of workers, impacting the area's demographic balance. Despite acknowledging job creation that could benefit the Welsh language, the risks outweighed the benefits, leading to Hitachi's eventual scrapping of the project in 2020. Meanwhile, the UK government pushes for reforms to ease infrastructure development amid criticism of the planning system.
