Will the time we can register/write to the IPC regarding Hinkley Point C be published in local newspapers for those without computers?

Advice given

If the Infrastructure Planning Commission (IPC) accepts the Hinkley Point C New Nuclear Power Station application for examination, the developer will publicise this fact twice on successive weeks in one or more local newspaper. This is a statutory requirement under Regulation 9 of the Infrastructure Planning (Applications: Prescribed Forms and Procedure) Regulations 2009.

Under the same regulations there will also be a notice published in a national newspaper.Site notices are also required to be erected in the vicinity of the main site and the associated development sites.

All notices will include the deadline for the receipt by the IPC of relevant representations to register as an interested party, as well as a summary of the application proposals and further details on how to register. There will be a minimum period of 28 days after the notice is last published to submit relevant representations.

I hope this answers your query. If you have any further questions, you can also call our Helpdesk on 0303 4445000
