Crispin Aubery, on behalf of Stop Hinkley Group, wrote to the IPC with questions in relation to the Hinkley Point C proposal.

Firstly, he wanted to know the IPC's relationship to the current application from EDF to West Somerset Council to carry out "preliminary works". His understanding was that the IPC had indicated that, provided it is properly formulated, this application should be appoved. Secondly,he could not find the location of the minutes of meetings between EDF and the local councils and other bodies about Hinkley C on the IPC website, and asked for help to locate them.

Advice given

Thank you for your email of 5 January 2010.

In response to your first query, the IPC has no involvement in local development control matters. Your understanding of our position with regard to the applications currently under consideration by West Somerset is incorrect; we have expressed no view on these applications. The IPC has not and will not make representations upon applications for planning permission, which are a matter for the local planning authority.

The IPC maintains a register of advice, which can be found on our website, under ?legislation and advice?. The notes of meetings where advice is given are recorded on that register. Searching the register for an appropriate term (for example ?Hinkley?) will produce a list of entries that contain that term.

This is a short-term solution. Our website is still under development, and meeting notes will soon be directly visible from the project page. For an example of how project pages will look in the near future, you may wish to see the page for the Rookery South generating station in the Eastern region.
