Query regarding status as an interested party and as an affected person for the Hinkley Point C application.
Advice given
As stated in the IPC's Rule 4 / 6 procedural decision dated 10 February 2012, I can confirm that you are an Interested Party for the Hinkley Point C with the unique reference quoted in your email (10014817).
As an Interested Party you will receive notification of all the procedural decisions made by the Panel of Commissioners; will have the opportunity to submit further written representations during the application?s examination and participate in the examination hearings.
Those with an interest in land affected by the application are legally defined as "affected parties" for the purposes of this examination. As mentioned previously, EDF has provided us with a list of all the individuals and organisations in this category. Affected persons have additional rights, over and above those of "interested parties" and are able to cause a compulsory acquisition hearing to take place and attend them. If you think that your land would be affected by compulsory acquisition, and as a result that you are an "affected party", I can only re-iterate that you should seek legal advice and try to resolve this issue directly with EDF.
A link to our website showing the compulsory acquisition information submitted to the IPC for the Hinkley Point C application is provided below. This includes a Book of Reference detailing all those with an interest in land who may be affected by compulsory acquisition. You, or your legal representative, may wish to check this.
Our email of 30 January 2012 related directly to your query regarding compulsory acquisition matters and your stated attempt to register your interest in the application by email. I apologise if this response caused any confusion with your earlier successful registration using our online submission facility.
