Query whether their relevant representations would be considered during examination proceedings and whether attendance at the Preliminary Meeting would be required to allow the opportunity to make an oral presentation later.

Advice given

The Panel of Commissioners have read all relevant representations submitted to the IPC during the registration period. The relevant representations will continue to be part of the Panel's consideration throughout the examination. You can choose to rely on your relevant representation throughout the examination; however, you will also have the opportunity to submit further written representations in response to the deadlines set out in the examination timetable. The timetable will be published following the Preliminary Meeting.

The Panel may disregard representations that they consider vexatious or frivolous; which relate to the merits of policy set out in a national policy statement, or which are regarding compensation for compulsory acquisition of land (or of an interest in or right over land).

As an interested party you will receive all procedural decisions made by the Panel in connection with the Hinkley Point C application, including full details of any open floor or issue specific hearings where you could request the opportunity to speak. You do not need to attend the Preliminary Meeting to attend and be able to speak at any hearings set out in the examination timetable.
