The Equality and Human Rights Commission requested if they could be removed from the Hinkley Point C mailing lists as information regarding planning applications does not fit with the type of work carried out by the organisation.

Advice given

I can confirm that we have removed the Equality and Human Rights Commission from the Hinkley Point C mailing list. Your Interested Party status however remains active if you wish to participate in any future part of the process for the above application.

Please be aware that the Equality and Human Rights Commission is listed as a prescribed consultee under the relevant planning legislation. This means we have a statutory obligation to consult EHRC regarding all National Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP) applications likely to affect land in England and Wales during their pre-application and initial stages.

Once you have received our Rule 4 / 6 letter (detailing the appointment of the Examining authority and how to be become involved in the process) and Rule 8 letter (detailing how the application is to be examined) for each application, you will only receive further correspondence if you notify us of your wish to become an Interested Party or make a relevant representation during the registration period.

Further information on the applicable planning legislation can be found on our website. A link to the relevant section is provided below.
